What’s the smallest/oldest device someone tried LMTX on?

Would it run on some 8 bit

My book has lots of math, so perhaps that is the reason.
Option 1: Buy or borrow a faster computer.

I'll send you the PDFs offlist.
lmtx defaults to 'modern' so you need to

I was curious, so did a quick experiment: typeset \input knuth 500 times.

I was curious, so did a quick experiment: typeset \input knuth 500 times. Here
are the results:

Option 1: Buy or borrow a faster computer. You'll get your desired speed-up far

That's surely the key statement - 'fast' here is a personal thing, and

Hi Shiv,
ConTeXt’s project structure has many benefits. One is speed. See
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure.
My books and long papers are products, each containing many components
(chapters or sections). When I’m working, I have both the product and a
component open. I
