[XeTeX] using ConTeXt with XeTeX ?

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Just for the records: the test file used is:

\usetypescript[times]
\mainlanguage[de]
\setupbodyfont[times,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]

\starttext
Wort und Tat in 1906
\stoptext

[I hope so far everything is correct?]

OK, I have installed the 997 xetex, remade the context and xetex  
formats.
Now, everything again is completely different, and even worse:  
TeXExec | runtime: 393.132697 (!!!)

Ok, finally the TeXGyreTimes-Regular is embedded. But 393 seconds for  
five words?!

The strange behaviour (freezing, empty line in log etc.) is vanished.
But now I have dozens of even more timeconsuming errors:

... and so on and so forth.

Looks like something very fundamental is wrong now?!
