Hi Hans and others,
1) Yes, I have set the PATH to /context/tex/texmf-win64/bin (set PATH=%PATH%).
For this ConTeXt installation, I run ConteXt on Windows x64, on an Intel i5Core, with 8Go RAM on a 500Go Barracuda 7200t/mn hard drive. I'll try it on a Mac OS X Mavericks or Yosemite (in virtualization).
I use to test ConTeXT on a Intel i3Core Lenovo Laptop, where ConTeXt is installed on Ubuntu and Windows 10 and run without any problem.
2) Each time I do a 'context --generate' on the Intel i5Core, the process is quick (less than 10 s.), but with 'context --make', the proces takes more or less than 35 sec.

Dear list,
I am currently testing and experimenting such things as a brand new installation (Context Process 0.63 2016.05.22 15:18) on a Windows x64 computer. I have made a new installation of ConTeXt Standalone (with TeXWorks), downloading the *.zip file, etc.
1) Download the context-mswin.zip in C:\[...]\Documents; 2) mkdir 'context' => cd 'context' 3) Unzip it and launch context-setup.bat in the new C:\[...]Documents\context 4) Then, go to \context\tex and launch 'setuptex'; 5) Then again, cd \context\tex\texmf-win64\bin and do : 'context --generate', and 'context --make'.
As a result, the compilation after context --generate is 0,988 s. (and much more than 1 sec with 'context --make' command, which needs usually more than 30 sec. to compile) and after context --make I obtain a \dumpdump message with this cryptic sentence (in French) : 'luatex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program or a command file.
And when I try to do this : \ starttext \startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}] This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document. \stopsection \stoptext
Here is the result : mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: No such file or directory
I have missed something ... but what is it ?
is there a texmf-win64 directory someplace? btw, 30 sec for making a format sounds a lot to me (normally it takes me around 4.5 sec for one format including generating the file database, a few year old laptop but with an ssd) ... or is your console slow (if you run a lot from the console it makes sense to use 'conemu' as consoles - on any os - take some runtime due to the way tex flushes) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
