Good point... although doesn't the page optimization feed back into
paragraph layout?
No. :-(
But from Lars' POV, that is good :)
There are some interesting ideas in this discussion, but with
the current state of the code
you need to keep an eye on where tex spends its time on, and much is
related to loading fonts, reading files, saving output, etc and with
multiple threads one would have to coordinate that and make sure the time
spent on it does not become larger overall
for instance, in your document
Thanks, everybody, for the discussion on running TeX distributed / in
parallel.
I am much educated about the state of the art. :-)
Summary ...
- There is plenty of optimization that normally can be done. If a
ConTeXt run is taking a really long time, chances are that something is
not being done

We have close to 7000 mpgraphics, and they add about 15 minutes to the

most of them are the same so reusing them made sense
But the run time was already quite long before we started using those.
- define fonts beforehand
OK, we will look into this. I'm sure
