one can configure that locally ... much functionality only kicks in when 
really used (thereby limiting the overhead) and in that case messages 
also get suppressed till they make sense

i once played with it (1) but such a thing will only work on a console 
that supports ansi escape sequences (and console output of tex is 
already rather slow and flushing being character based it might give 
problems)

(1) in pdftex times ... it failed due to thsu ^^ escaping that tex applies
