Also, ConTeXt is way faster than LaTeX
Yes, indeed, this is one of my favourite parts of ConTeXt.
(though much slower than Typst but AFAIK, Typst is not as complete as ConTeXt).

of work to get it that way, and it comes with quite a few limitations:

in the end it all depends on functionality ... the more one supports and
adds the slower ... the problem doesn't change (a simple macro package
would also be very fast)
also, users have some influence too:
(1) check your style for bottlenecks
(2) make an example of what is slow and mention it on the list
