Not sure what you mean here. From the command line:

$ time tex texbook.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.5)
[...]
Output written on texbook.dvi (494 pages, 2030580 bytes).
Transcript written on texbook.log.

real    0m6.816s
user    0m3.664s
sys     0m0.255s

$ time tex -interaction batchmode texbook.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.5)
[...]
Output written on texbook.dvi (494 pages, 2030580 bytes).
Transcript written on texbook.log.

real    0m6.614s
user    0m3.660s
sys     0m0.258s

So that the times aren't significantly different.

But if you mean what I did to get texbook.tex to compile, then yes, I  
had to modify it very slightly. I'd prefer not to enter into the  
details here, as the file starts with a notice telling it shouldn't  
be TeXed unless explicitly allowed in writing by the copyright holder  
or publisher. Obviously this is for preventing people to compile the  
file rather than purchasing the TeXbook. I just hope that for the  
purpose of benchmarking as I did this once it's OK (and I did  
purchase three copies of the TeXbook over the years!).
