Dear Wolfgang Both of these process very quickly - 2 seconds for each separately, and less than that if I put the Baskerville definition plus simple text after the default Comp. Modern text.

Dear Wolfgang
The hyphenation exceptions look much more complicated than my simple file - but at any rate it can't be that that's causing all this processing time.
Here is the result of the mtxrun command you sent:

I don't think that ConTexT is repeatedly searching for Baskerville in particular (though after just a few days I can't claim any expertise in reading ConTexT log files). But it does seem to want to survey the entire database of fonts, whether or not I need them.
I don't know if it would help to call a font specifically from its file location, which I have occasionally had to do for exotic sorts that are rarely required, e.g. (from my days of typesetting the /Medieval Latin Dictionary from British Sources/), in XeTeX style:
\font\mldrten="[D:/BACKUPS/FONTBKUP/MLD/MLD-Regular.ttf]" at 10pt
Does it make a differenece if you typeset a simple document with the baskerville fonts
\starttext \definedfont[file:BaskervilleMTPro-Regular.otf*default] Hello \CONTEXT! \stoptext
or the default latin modern fonts?
\starttext Hello \CONTEXT! \stoptext
Wolfgang
