Hello
I completely removed all iterations of texlive from the spare computer I'm
using for ConTexT (which is quite old - 2013), and reinstalled texlive this
morning. I'm still getting the same long list of font files being checked,
but the run is down to 20 seconds if I log on as administrator, and that's
just about tolerable for now while I'm experimenting. I may set up on a
more modern machine in the fullness of time!
Best wishes

Dear Wolfgang
Both of these process very quickly - 2 seconds for each separately, and less than that if I put the Baskerville definition plus simple text after the default Comp. Modern text.
on a bit recent machine (say 5 years old) a simple few page run with lation modern should run way below a second and unless you do complex stuff performance should be some 30-40 pages per second .. if not, there is an issue with your installation
E.g. if TEXINPUT is set to a big tree, TeX will look through that for every file. (I had TEXINPUT.lualatex set for a LaTeX project and it increased processing time with that engine by minutes.)
