I think I did not state the problem clear enough.
The solution given here supposes that the fontsize is known beforehand.
However, what I am doing is calculating a font size based on the 
current one and than switch to that size.
It is part of a fontsize changing mechanism inside an xmlsetup. In 
short what I am doing is:


\scratchdimen=\the\dimexpr\bodyfontsize\relax
\advance\scratchdimen 'somevalue' \relax
%\definebodyfontenvironment[\the\scratchdimen]
\begingroup
% must keep the change local
\switchtobodyfont[\the\scratchdimen]
...
\endgroup

The commented out \definebodyfontenvironment kills a lot of the font 
messages but I fear that each the time the same work is done as 
without it. The only benefit being the suppression of the font 
messages in the log ;-)


It might be impossible to accomplish this efficiently -- that is 
execute the font calculations once only for the given size. But at 
least I would like to give it a try.



You can save time with the \definebodyfontenvironment command.

In the following example context has to create a new bodyfont
environment for each iteration (because the values are local
to the group) to calculate the a, b, c etc. sizes which takes time
but in the same loop context only has to load the predefined size.

\testfeatureonce{1000}
  {\begingroup
   \switchtobodyfont[18pt]
   \endgroup}

\definebodyfontenvironment[18pt]

\testfeatureonce{1000}
  {\begingroup
   \switchtobodyfont[18pt]
   \endgroup}

I like to execute this statement
\definebodyfontenvironment[somevalue]
in order to avoid lots of error messages as such:
fonts > bodyfont '8.0pt' is defined (can better be done global

Is this definebodyfontenvironment macro fully executed each time it is called 
or does ConTeXt remember and execute it once only?
Just put it at the begin of the document.

\definebodyfontenvironment[18pt]
