No.
There is neither a 'plain.fmt' nor a 'plain.mem'!

I have searched in the local directory, where it should be.
It is not in 'D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\web2c' where format-files 
usally exist.
It is not in the cache.

I run this:
-------------------------------------------------------
\enableregime[utf-8]
\starttext
% start low-level
\startlua
local function finder(name, mode, ftype)
     if mode=="w" then
         return name
     else
         return kpse.find_file(name,ftype)
     end
end
mp = mplib.new ( {
     hash_size = 100000,
     main_memory = 2000000,
     param_size = 100000,
     find_file = finder,
     ini_version = true
} )
if mp then
     res = mp:execute("plain")
     print(table.serialize(res))
     res = mp:finish()
     print(table.serialize(res))
end
\stoplua
% stop low-level
\stoptext
-------------------------------------------------------

with the following output:

-------------------------------------------------------

}

Can you see, what I am missing?
