The example takes here less than a second.

My question would be then why in the normal case my system is ×7 slower?

you can see at the end of the log where the time is spent .. do you have a cache (for fonts and such)?

Just in case you want to test my minimal sample:

\definepapersize[aa][width=2cm,height=1cm] \setuppapersize[aa] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \TeX\ \sc\word\ \TeX \stoptext

But I think that less than a second total compiling time is too fast only to load the ConTeXt macros.

Why not, this is what I get from your example (time context test.tex): real 0m0.922s user 0m0.853s sys 0m0.061s Wolfgang

This is what I got: real 0m8.744s user 0m6.449s sys 0m0.549s Almost ×10 slower :-(. I have realized that I always use the --purgeall option (to keep my system clean), without it I get: real 0m2.466s user 0m2.273s sys 0m0.182s But still about ×2.5 slower.

Hi there,

compiling this minimal file:

\definepapersize[aa][width=2cm,height=1cm] \setuppapersize[aa] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=12pt] \definesimplefont[amsmile][TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext \TeX\ \amsmile \TeX \stoptext

using

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011061416 (rev 4277) ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.1 int: english/english

took

system | total runtime: 144.057

that can be because you ask for a font by name in which case the font name cache is regenerated ... so that happen seldom

...

Replacing the TeX Gyre Pagella font with small caps only takes

system | total runtime: 6.753

probably a first time caching of the font

When I update TeXLive 2011 invoking: tlmgr update --self --all after that I have to manually run: mtxrun --script fonts --reload if anything on the ConTeXt system has changed. Otherwise, things like this happen every time I compile a ConTeXt document. I guess there might be something wrong in tlmgr when updating ConTeXt, but this is beyond my knowledge.

...

I guess something is wrong here, even if I'm doing something wrong.

successive runs should be fast

If I don't regenerate the font cache as above, I get this mess every time I compile a ConTeXt document invoking a system font by name. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Once I had a luatex.dll file out of sync with the latest version of luatex -- don't ask me how it happened -- and it caused loading context macros to take much longer, to reload the cache every run, and to run more times than needed. Looking closely at the log I noticed an "engine mismatch". Deleting that file fixed everything. This may have nothing to do with your case in particular, but just to say say that sometimes strange things like this do happen. See also

indeed, this happens because the mtxrun binary prefers the dll even if the exe is newer .. removing the dll is the solution then Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
