(And if you want to process xml ... well, then mkiv is definitely faster.)
If you think that there's a bottleneck somewhere that shouldn't be, I can look into it when I'm bored.
Many thanks for your extremely instructive explanation, Hans. I’m happy with the compilation speed in ConTeXt MkIV. I only asked because as an average computer user, I thought that 64bit programs would be faster than 32bit programs. Well, this isn’t the first time that the previous sentence isn’t the case. Many thanks for your help again and your excellent work with ConTeXt, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
