Re: [NTG-context] Can we make font loading much faster?
Hi:
lua garbage collection on xp is somehow quite slow, when i switched to
vista, the luatex test files (mk) that took forever on xp, ran smoothly
on vista
OK. Today I got a copy of windows vista, so I installed it on the same
machine, and test the same tex file.

Re: [NTG-context] Can we make font loading much faster?
I usually compose short documents (paper, homework, report etc.) which usually runs 8-10 pages. There will be considerable difference between traditional TeX (CJK for LaTeX, or pdftex MKII using subfonts) and MKIV. That means, every MKIV Chinese document I compile will spend 10 seconds loading the fonts and extra 5 seconds for compiling the actual document. For longer documents (more than 100 pages), I seldom compile them all. ConTeXt user usually split the book into components. I compiled each component (usually 10 pages) until I am satisfy in all components, then I will compile the whole book. So, efficient on small document is very important.

In a typical chinese science book, usually 4 to 10 chinese
truetype/opentype font are used. Magazines might use twenty or more.
So if we want to use the standard way (use chinese font as body font,
use virtual fonts mechanism to mix the font with latin fonts, use
different alternatives for single chinese font)
as the zhfonts.tex is presented, the running time here is usually
intolerable (more than 3 minutes' loading time with very simple text
for three fonts).
Enable \preloadtypescript in cont-sys.tex.
A simple XeLaTeX file with three font embeding using XeCJK or
zhspacing for interchartoken font switching usually runs less than 8
seconds. In this case, all the family (rm, ss, tt) parts (like bf, it,
etc) in NFSS are defined.
So, I think there should be a way to improve the font loading
procedure. Maybe we had made deep copy to every fontsynonym defined
here which made the loading time terribly long? Are there some way to
mirror all the unchanged part of a new loading font B from a loaded
time A and only leave the modified table when A and B points to same
physical font? Thanks.

the reason for this is that including the files in the pdf files takes
long; we suspect that there might be a memory issue there (not freed) so
that on your system you end up with swapping (it is on the agenda to
look into this)
In a typical chinese science book, usually 4 to 10 chinese
truetype/opentype font are used. Magazines might use twenty or more.
So if we want to use the standard way (use chinese font as body font,
use virtual fonts mechanism to mix the font with latin fonts, use
different alternatives for single chinese font)
it's not virtual fonts at all, these fonts are used in parallel and
fallbacks are applied by node list parsing; this also means that the
fallback fonts have feature support (independent of the main font)
as the zhfonts.tex is presented, the running time here is usually
intolerable (more than 3 minutes' loading time with very simple text
for three fonts).
A simple XeLaTeX file with three font embeding using XeCJK or
zhspacing for interchartoken font switching usually runs less than 8
seconds. In this case, all the family (rm, ss, tt) parts (like bf, it,
etc) in NFSS are defined.

mirror all the unchanged part of a new loading font B from a loaded
time A and only leave the modified table when A and B points to same
physical font? Thanks.
at the lua end there is already a lot of sharing going on but eventually
the font has to be fed into tex itself where there is no such sharing
anyhow, performance might improve over time

Oh, My God. What's wrong on my system? Umm...
Can you give me a hint to find what's wrong here?
I use the minimals GUI installer, and after installation,
I copy the fonts to texmf-fonts/fonts/opentype.
Is there a profile program in ConTeXt available? (I know there is a
Memory Performance chart module available).
