I've tested this, rendering only the last 100 measures:
When I ran Lily the first time on that file, it needed 171 s with 
Point-And-Click turned on. Afterwards I turned Point-And-Click off, 
where it finished after 88s. After that I did a second run with 
Point-And-Click turned on - now it finished after just 93s.
I don't think there are significant differences concerning 
Point-And-Click. But obviously every first run that Lily does on a file, 
lasts longer.
I don't know what's the reason for it. A further observation I made 
(which I posted some time ago on -devel) was that when running LilyPond 
with many files (lilypond foo1.ly foo2.ly foo3.ly foo4.ly) it needs 
much(!) more time than running it that way: lilypond foo1.ly && lilypond 
foo2.ly && lilypond foo3.ly && lilypond foo4.ly.

I don't use any of this extra-checks in my score.
