Hello,
sorry for that last question, because I managed to find the answer; I honestly thought my ability to solve these things myself was
exhausted, but I had overlooked the "main-memory" setting in txmf.cnf. When I changed that value to 1100000 as it was for ConTeXt,
the formats were produced wonderfully.
I was surprised to see that they are called like cont-nl.efmt where I had expected them to be *.fmt but I guess I need to do some
reading about the new TeX varieties. I saw mention of PDFetex instead of the familiar PDFtex so I guess there's an e in all these
names suddenly ;-))
Groet!
Frans

pdfetex (and not pdftex) is an enhanced version, it is a merge from etex and
pdftex. Context runs better with pdfetex, since context actually uses these
enhanced things (but don't ask me what in specific)

It runs (on some jobs) some 5% faster. When you browse the source code, you
will find sections like \
\beginTEX .... \endTEX
and
\beginETEX ... \endETEX
that implement low level macros in two ways, depending on the (e)tex used.
There are a few places where etex is more robust, especially when tricky
expansion is used.
In a similar way, I can (and will) support specific pdftex and omega
features.
