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).
