- It is hard to be conclusive about performance but for instance the luatex manual processes a bit faster with lmtx as does the test suite. A gain in performance on very demanding documents is also observed by Alan and Thomas. Normally one can expect a similar performance. However, the memory footprint could be a bit smaller.

For sure the ConTeXt now loads and initialises a lot faster. With that trivial issue.tex test file by Arthur I get these timings (after a few ‘warmup’ runs).
