hm, write on std{err,out} slows down the process
But normally there should be very few messages, as message and show should be used with parsimony... (Indeed there are very few in the standard metapost and metafun macros) Maybe in ConTeXt we should have a distinction in allowing the turning on of one or the other (show, message and errmessage).

There is always `context --noconsole` if you want to omit the messages. I think that it is a good idea to display messages by default, or better still, the logging and tracing macros of metapost and tex be enabled by a common interface. Aditya
