Many thanks for the new LuaTeX, Hans. I have used for a document (http://blog.ousia.tk/0005/#context-source), which hashes (with both SHA512 and SHA256) 38 external files. With the previous beta, it took about 160s to completely generate the PDF output (always with --purgeall). With the current beta, it only took 9.9s, which is a huge improvement. I know that this might be the most favorable case for the new LuaTeX improvements, but this is even faster than using the external binaries that the OS (Linux64 in this case) provides. This faster compilation could be also decreased when LuaJIT includes bitwise operators, couldn’t it be? Many thanks for your excellent work again, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
