Yes, it's an odd thing - even odder now since the last two runs have been
much faster. This without any intervention from me. It will be
interesting to see what happens when I switch off and resume tomorrow. But
it's not a serious issue for me at the moment since I'm only using the
machine to experiment with various features of the program.

Hello
I completely removed all iterations of texlive from the spare computer I'm using for ConTexT (which is quite old - 2013), and reinstalled texlive this morning. I'm still getting the same long list of font files being checked, but the run is down to 20 seconds if I log on as administrator, and that's just about tolerable for now while I'm experimenting. I may set up on a more modern machine in the fullness of time!
it should not regenerate the font database every time; maybe only when a font is not found by name
luametatex (lmtx) was mostly developped on a 2013 machine and the current one is a 2018 one ... and the difference is actualy not large
