Hi, Hans:
here is the solution to your great feature:
huh? what great features? what's wrong with the features anyway? you want a
special version that instead prints hundreds of error messages each and
every run because some font is missing which in practice is harmless?
...
change
 \def\defaultfontfile{lmmono10-regular}
in font-ini.mkii to
\def\defaultfontfile{"[lmmono10-regular]"}
to disable that feature.
it should be \defaultfontfile{file:lmmono10-regular} (when i  played with
that this morning it made not much difference on the test runs here but the
file: prefix does not hurt)
There is great difference here (8 sec compare to 1.2 seconds per run)
makes no difference here for the big test

\setupbodyfont[myzhfont] \dorecurse{10000}{{hello 
{\switchtobodyfont[myzhfont] 你好}}\par}

so it's probably also an operating system issue (caching files in mem, 
disk access etc)
