Thank you very much for testing.
I didn't use such tools. I am watching the terminal when fonts are
downloaded (at the end of the document) and I notice the delay per each
Besley fonts downloaded from ~/texmf. Sure, it is observable. It looks
like waiting for some kind of time limit.
Unfortunately, questions remains: why behavior of Lua garbage collector
differs in luatex and luahbtex when the programs have to do the same?
When we copy the fonts from ~/texmf/fonts to current directory:
cp ~/texmf/fonts/opentype/besley/* .
and run the test, then the unwanted delay with luahbtex disappears. It
seems that this has something to do with file searching from TeXmf tree.
Garbage collector behavior differs when files are in in different locations?
Best regards

Hello
I am testing new luahbtex and comparing it with luatex because
I am
considering to set OpTeX with luahbtex engine instead luatex
in TeXlive
2025.
I have found a difference between lautex and luahbtex behavior
which I
am unable to explain why. The difference is shown only when
huge number of
fonts are downloaded by luaotfload and only with selected
fonts from
internet saved to ~/texmf/fonts. And it manifests only as a
little delay
(with luahbtex) during dlownloading the fonts to PDF at the
end of the
document visible if you are watching at the terminal. The PDF
result is
equal, but I am worried that there is a hidden bug in luahbtex
because
the difference is unexpected.
I teseted this with OpTeX macros, they never use mode=harf. So
I expect the
same behavior with both engines. The example for testing is
somewhat more
complicated and it is exactly described at
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/735071/
The main question is: why luatex behaves correctly (with no
delay during
downolading fonts) but luahbtex presents a delay in given
cases? Where is
the difference? Can the luatex developers explain this?
Thank you
Petr Olsak
under linux
/usr/bin/time always reports luahbtex slower of about 5seconds,
but I was not able to find why /where.

Using gprofng
https://sourceware.org/binutils/wiki/gprofng
I can see that luahbtex spends a relevant time on sweeplist, which
means that the lua gc plays an important role here.
