True for ConTeXt. but a great pain for Chinese TeX Society to develop a TeX/LaTeX support package --- We should wait before the computer, with a cup of tea, watching the screen closely for minutes to see the actual coding result. And each compilation takes the package user a long time.
After on by your work drew so much of my attention to the font loading parts of luatex, I decided to do some profiling of my own as I had a lost half hour before dinner anyway. Not with gprof but with callgrind this time, and that was a big help! You probably (certainly!) want to check out the commit I just did (#2537), as it speeds up TrueType font loading for (especially) large fonts, and without *any* need for user-side configuration options. There is a small price to pay for the (sometimes massive) speedup, but it is really, really minor and I trust people can easily live with the following two restrictions: * The truetype boundingbox data in the font is assumed to be accurate * No check is made for the uniqueness of the names of the glyphs I have not looked at OTF loading yet, maybe tomorrow.
