no.  \definetypeface[foobar][blablabla] \dorecurse{10000}{{hello
{\foobar 你好}}\par}
is still very slow. I will look into that tomorrow.

Other problems are solved (why \setupbodyfont[iwona] is slow, why
\definefont[simsun.ttf] is slow, etc.)

Concerning the suffix problem, I already reported that to Jonathan
Kew. I think he will fix that very soon.
