After some testing with a profiled binary, it turned out that LuaTeX spends nearly 90% of its run time inside the get_token() function when it is processing tex.tex completely (535 pages), but only 10% if it runs only the first 20 or so pages.
I should have formulated this a bit differently: Of course it spends a smaller percentage of its time in get_token() when the format loading becomes more important. But it is also overtaken by functions that are not related to format loading, so I amn confident that the gist of my original post is really true. Taco
