Hello I completely removed all iterations of texlive from the spare computer I'm using for ConTexT (which is quite old - 2013), and reinstalled texlive this morning. I'm still getting the same long list of font files being checked, but the run is down to 20 seconds if I log on as administrator, and that's just about tolerable for now while I'm experimenting. I may set up on a more modern machine in the fullness of time!
