I thought ConTeXt could generate more auxiliary files than two. In MkII ConTeXt used to generate more auxiliary files; in MkIV it only generates one (.tuc). The log file is a TeX feature that cannot be turned off (I think). If you use bibtex, then ConTeXt must also generate the .aux file (because that is hardwired into bibtex!) and bibtex then generates a bbl file. So, in the worst case, you end up with four extra files.

Many thanks for the reply, Hans.
My system does 172.980 pages/second in the last run. My laptop is way
older than yours (Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2050 @ 1.60GHz / 2GB RAM /
Fedora 19).

Here you have a minimal sample:

It takes about 3.5 seconds total runtime to compile. Is this the
standard required time?
Actually what I wonder is why the compilation requires three runs to
output the final document.
mkiv lua stats > runtime: 0.250 seconds
system | total runtime: 0.422
luajittex:

\starttext
\dorecurse{1000}{test\page}
\stoptext
does 540 pages per second
of course in practice it all depends on what features are used but 3.5
seconds is way off, unless you remake the format each run (coul dbe the
case of your luatex doesn't match texlua

When you process a new document the first time context takes three runs to store and read data in the temp files (references and roc etc. values). After this context takes in most cases only a single run unless references have changed (e.g. the reference is now on a new page) or new entries are written to the temp files (e.g. when you add a additional heading).
