something like that ...
keep in mind that you don't need to define a font then,
{\setfontfeature{smallcaps}Some Text}
will automatically give you that featureset so in practice we can do with only a few real font definitions; mkiv keeps track of such dunamic features and efficiently caches data;
we sped up luatex + mkiv some 30% and when using dynamic features with huge fonts (zapfino, arab, chinese) we can even gain more
wow!!
gave us a good feeling too -) luatex will always be slower than pdftex, if only because it has wide fonts, multi-directional typesetting etc; to some extend this can be compensatd by using less fonts, but then, more features also has a price Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
