Hi, Hans. The last release is considerably faster for smaller documents (for larger documents differences seem to be neglectable). Thank you for such an improvement. However, something is wrong with one manual: luametatex manual won't compile: Compiles ok here so i'm puzzled. I'll update a new version in a few days anyway.
About performance. As you mention small document, it's probably the startup time but I'm not sure if i did things that should have a large impact (apart from again a smaller format file) but maybe it's a accumulation of small improvements. About large files .. do you have any idea where tex spends the time on your documents? Of course there is much lua involved and performance of lua oscillates a bit with versions. The tex code is already quite optimal (and variants i played with hardly put a dent in performance). But anyway, it would be nice if users could indicate where they think bottlenecks are.
