I tried the same with 'mpost'. This has the advantage that one has 
not to adapt 'plain.mp'.

But here too, there is no 'mpost.mem' and no 'mpost.log'.

I have included a test before and after mp:finish().

Can anybody with a minimal under windows run this example?

\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("mpost")
     tex.print("[" .. tostring(res.status) .. "]")
     print(table.serialize(res))
     if io.open("mpost.mem","r") then
       print("found")
     else
       print("nothing")
     end
     res = mp:finish()
     print(table.serialize(res))
     if io.open("mpost.mem","r") then
       print("found")
     else
       print("nothing")
     end
end
\stoplua
% stop low-level
\stoptext
