isn't it too slow?

isn't it too slow?

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

compiling this minimal file:

   \definepapersize[aa][width=2cm,height=1cm]
   \setuppapersize[aa]
   \setuppagenumbering[location=]
   \usemodule[simplefonts][size=12pt]
   \definesimplefont[amsmile][TeX Gyre Pagella]
   \starttext
   \TeX\ \amsmile \TeX
   \stoptext

using

   This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011061416 (rev 4277)
   ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.1 int: english/english

took

   system          | total runtime: 144.057

Replacing the TeX Gyre Pagella font with small caps only takes

   system          | total runtime: 6.753

I guess something is wrong here, even if I'm doing something wrong.

Just in case it helps,


Pablo

The example takes here less than a second.

My question would be then why in the normal case my system is ×7 slower?

you can see at the end of the log where the time is spent .. do you have 
a cache (for fonts and such)?

I guess I have a font cache. I didn't configure anything, I use it as it
comes with TeXLive 2011.

I guess I have a font cache, because I use OS fonts with simplefonts.

But the same should happen to Wolfgang (and I don't think that his
computer is ×7 faster than my laptop).

But the example doesn't load system fonts, only Latin Modern.

Just in case you want to test my minimal sample:

\definepapersize[aa][width=2cm,height=1cm]
\setuppapersize[aa]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\starttext
\TeX\ \sc\word\ \TeX
\stoptext

But I think that less than a second total compiling time is too fast
only to load the ConTeXt macros.

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

Why not, this is what I get from your example (time context test.tex):

real	0m0.922s
user	0m0.853s
sys	0m0.061s

and when loading another font (before \starttext) than latin roman it's 
even less

This is what I got:

real	0m8.744s
user	0m6.449s
sys	0m0.549s

Almost ×10 slower :-(.

I have realized that I always use the --purgeall option (to keep my
system clean), without it I get:

real	0m2.466s
user	0m2.273s
sys	0m0.182s

But still about ×2.5 slower.

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

that can be because you ask for a font by name in which case the font 
name cache is regenerated ... so that happen seldom

probably a first time caching of the font

successive runs should be fast

When I update TeXLive 2011 invoking:

	tlmgr update --self --all

after that I have to manually run:

	 mtxrun --script fonts --reload

if anything on the ConTeXt system has changed.

Otherwise, things like this happen every time I compile a ConTeXt document.

I guess there might be something wrong in tlmgr when updating ConTeXt,
but this is beyond my knowledge.

If I don't regenerate the font cache as above, I get this mess every
time I compile a ConTeXt document invoking a system font by name.

Thanks for your help,

Once I had a luatex.dll file out of sync with the latest version of luatex  
-- don't ask me how it happened -- and it caused loading context macros to  
take much longer, to reload the cache every run, and to run more times  
than needed. Looking closely at the log I noticed an "engine mismatch".  
Deleting that file fixed everything. This may have nothing to do with your  
case in particular, but just to say say that sometimes strange things like  
this do happen. See also

indeed, this happens because the mtxrun binary prefers the dll even if 
the exe is newer .. removing the dll is the solution then

Many thanks, Idris, for your help.

No mismatch found in my log file.
