TeX finds its files very fast. I could improve that with a smaller texmf-tree, but 1+ min for the job is IMO okay; it runs 3xConTeXt, 2xTeXUtil and 2xMetaPost. The problem is the terminal program. It seems that the drawing of those many messages on the terminal needs much time. If i use a slow terminal, i.e. gnome-terminal, then the runtime increases. Can i switch off the messages generated by ConTeXt, this would help to compare. Jens
