[NTG-context] Re: Do typescripts slow down ConTeXt?

Steffen Wolfrum writes: Hi,

So it's 12 seconds compared to 5 seconds (or just 1 with LaTeX). Is this normal?

I have to say that this is normal. I haven't found any magic switch yet to make ConTeXt faster.

Do I have a good chance that my typescript (see below) could be speeded up, or is this -unfortunately- the regular way ConTeXt deals with PostScript fonts?

It is related to the \usetypescript command: it reloads all the typescript files that have been declared with \usetypescriptfile. Don't know why. There is probably a good reason, since Hans is normally in mso-mode (maximum speed optimize). Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!
