Hi, Hans
Now I know why XeTeX uses 1-2 minutes to compile a simple document:
Each time first-setup.bat runs, it erase the user fontforge cache.
So if I compile a document right after updating ConTeXt minimals,
XeTeX will automatically run fc-cache to generate the font cache.
Today I test a little bit, the time used for fc-cache -r is
approximately the xetex's first running time.
Next compilation uses about 7-8 seconds, which is reasonable (it first
searches the fc cache, then the texmf tree)
btw, can we change the type-otf.tex to force mkii to search fonts like
iwona and tex gyre in the texmf tree first?
Then the compilation will run much faster than before.

it's indeed not so fast, maybe because one of the used files cannot be found fast
eventually we might end up with extending the xtx typescript
