I'm looking forward to comparing speed some more. > Thanks and kudos to Taco and to you! the mk test document, which now ha ssome 220 pages, processes at a speed of 10 pages per minute on my machines, which includes startup, loading a nbbunch of huge fonts, lots of mp graphics, etc .. my impression is that eventually luatex/mkiv will not be that much slower than pdftex sp when one takes into account that open type fonts are used (when lots of mp graphics are used and the new xml machinery ... luatex/mkiv is definitely faster) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
