Hi list, should I conclude that the LuaTeX experts are not the least bit interested into understanding which compilation flags were modified and resulted in a texlua twice slower on macOS 10.9.5 with TeXLive 2017 release than it was with TeXLive 2016 for the same machine? should I conclude it is _my fault_ to have reported this FACT at the initial message of this thread? did I receive appropriate answers when Hans Hagen only reaction was to tell that my code (which I said explicitely was NOT MY CODE) was crap and could be sped up 99%, which was NOT my question? NOT MY CODE, NOT MY ALGORITHM, NOT MY BINARY. It was the first ever time I ever ran texlua. Next time you run some software on your machine and find that between version 2016 and version 2017 its execution speed has increased 100% maybe you will consider that the experts of this software "put some time into understanding the cause", Jean-François
