But it seems to be a big problem only on your machine. What hardware are you 
running on? Is it a Raspberry PI?

Like any TeX-related program, ConTeXt does a fair bit of disk access while 
starting up, but I haven’t heard of that being an actual problem since the age 
of single-core CPUs. And it certainly should not have an effect on the CPU 
usage of any other program (it could affect system responsiveness, though).

Best wishes,
