OK, but how can I at least switch off loading parts (typescripts, map files... see below) that I don't need?

I didn't dare to go to the source and comment in/out lines myself.

Or does ConTeXt needs those map file internally?

you can of course make a minimal typescript file and then load only that 
one by setting:

\def\typescriptfiles{yourfile.tex}

i admit that typescripts are not fast, but the advantages of the current 
method is that i can change them easily as well as use different criteria 
when loading them; i did some experiments with (memory hungry) preloading, 
but on my system it made no real difference; normally the filesystem caches 
the files quite well; file searching may take a while when the file table 
(mktexlsr) is not up to date
