Processing time is not so significant compared to authoring time ;) However, since I plan to use ConTeXt only, it means there is no need to keep XeTeX updated - I'm trying to simplify my setup and keep just the minimum number of packages, i.e. getting rid of extra bloat. Fine, I already have mkiv (0.20.2) and can continue to use it... Sincerely, Gour
