Re: [AUCTeX-devel] ConTeXt mkiv tex.el

Tassilo: 

I am impressed by it. I may be biased, which is not a good thing. But in
my emacs The loading, stats, memory usage, and the running times were 
considerably improved. 

 If memory (my memory) serves me right, this has been an ongoing issue
 which has been brought up before. One of the ConTeXt developers, spoke
 about it in a paper ( I'm sorry I can't remmember the title of the
 article  or the  author), in which there was an
 unbiased comparison  between LaTeX ConTeXt compilation time, and if I'm
 not mistaken now, mkii lagged against the former, time after time. 
 With context though, since it loads mkiv, the gap is closed. I can't
 comment on your suggestion.

As a matter of fact, no need to set the engine, only C-c C-t C-p enabled, since 
context <file> takes care of the rest. 

Needless to say, it's the majority decision. And please, by all means,
if it's not the most appropriate step to take, I will revert the file
accordingly in my repo. 

Take care. Have a good one.
