here is the xelatex result given by a chinese user:
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKfamilyfont{song}{SimSun}
\begin{document}
{hello {\CJKfamily{song}你好}}\par % 10000 lines
\end{document}
got 209 pages, three seconds to run.
note he is switching families 20000 times. (\family{foo} in latex ==
\switchbodyfont[foo] in context)

Jonathan and Jin-Hwan, sorry for the noise. I am now sure that it is a context bug, not xetex's.
and
update: change the second example, remove the ".otf" suffix , and texexec --xtx gives: TeXExec | runtime: 5.766 Obviously, this is a parsing bug in ConTeXt.
context is not parsing for .otf or .ttf and has no reason for it either
