Hi all,
I have a document here for one of my classes: xml processed via context, some layers, some two column paragraphs, a bibliography, nothing out of the ordinary. With mkiv, it compiles cleanly:

When I compile the same document with luametatex, things slow down to a crawl:

So, it takes more than 20 times as long... The CPU of my computer goes up to 100 %, and the entire machine sometimes becomes unresponsive during the run. Obviously, I can't provide a MWE, but this seems bizarre. One thing I see on my terminal: there are hundreds of lines like this
Overfull \hbox (0.8pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 18--18 6:17: [glue][glue]<l2r par>
[glue][glue] It's almost like some debug setting has been triggered. But that may be a red herring. Anyway, I just wanted to report this; maybe some bigger problem (with the binary or the format?) is lurking somewhere.
no, that's just a more verbose 'overfull box' message ... does adding \dontcomplain help? (After all you can live with .8pt which smells like 2 * .4pt which is the default rule width so maybe some frame stricks out) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
