A certain slowdown is expected -- these binaries don't have
Guile bytecode for LilyPond's .scm files yet. This should
be added eventually before we make a full switch.

In the meanwhile, try compiling once with

  GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=1 lilypond file.ly

That will take longer and give you zillions of warnings, but
your LilyPond should get faster after that. It would be
interesting if you could report the timing.

Best,
