Hello list,

Can anyone provide a description of, or a point to a description of, the differences between setups= and directsetup= for including setups? I searched the list archive and the documents and found nothing. (That may indicate my level of search foo, but nonetheless I am in need of help with this.)
\setup      : takes a list ({...} or [...])
\directsetup: supports gridsnapping, only one setup
\fastsetup  : the fastest, only one setup

concerning performance, i wonder if you'll notice it

\starttext
    \startsetups test
    \stopsetups

    \testfeatureonce{100000}{\setup      {test}} \elapsedtime \par
    \testfeatureonce{100000}{\setup      [test]} \elapsedtime \par
    \testfeatureonce{100000}{\directsetup{test}} \elapsedtime \par
    \testfeatureonce{100000}{\fastsetup  {test}} \elapsedtime \par
\stoptext

because often what's done in the setup is taking the time, just test

    \startsetups test
        {\bf}
    \stopsetups

you can volunteer to wikify it
