Now that you mention it: I still need to adapt the gnuplot module to
mkiv, but I'm a bit afraid of asking for help. (The most important
thing would be to get rid of that stupid catcode trickery inside
\startGNUPLOTscript ... \stopGNUPLOTscript that always tends to fail
when one needs it, and to have one-to-one conversion, so that %,#, $,
... will have no special meaning.) Then, it would probably be a nice
benchmark to discover bugs in the library :)

For example, demos from this page (I'm not saying that they're too
useful since 100x100 is too low resolution anyway):
     http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.3/pm3d.html
currently all fail because of the "out-of-memory" problem (10.000
times "fill unitsquare scaled ... shifted ... withcolor ..."), but
this might be a ConTeXt problem as well (the text inside
\startMPgraphic ... \stopMPgraphic probably needs to be stored
somewhere in TeX, even if there's no need for that).
