Hi, Taco:

After my testing the context/experimental with the trunk version of LuaTeX, the memory usage for loading CJK fonts are much lower than before (300MB vs. 850MB on Adobe Songti Std Light, Windows XP), and the loading time is also shorter, too. So thanks a lot for the work! I think many users on the list will be happy too (like Wolfgang, Yanrui Li, Dr. Kim, Longming Wang, etc...)

This patch was coded at the KTS meeting in Seoul. As far as I know, it is faster only because there is less swapping involved and/or malloc() is more efficient. The exact same amount of work is done as before. In particular, the glyph boundingboxes are still correctly calculated. Best wishes, Taco
