those fonts are loaded for math (and only once as fonts are shared)

this takes 2.5 seconds on my machine

\starttext
     \usetypescript[palatino]   \setupbodyfont[palatino]     test\par
     \usetypescript[postscript] \setupbodyfont[postscript]   test\par
     \usetypescript[cambria]    \setupbodyfont[cambria]      test\par
\stoptext

(there is a way to prevent initial loading but it does not save that 
much time)

two cores is less important than a big 2 level cache (influences lua 
runtime) and memory (so that files are cached in mem)
