Summary ...
* There is plenty of optimization that normally can be done, without having to parallelize. If a ConTeXt run is taking a really long time, chances are that something is not being done according to the design.
* For most (current) purposes, documents are small enough and ConTeXt is fast enough that the effort to automate distribution of typesetting runs may not be worthwhile. On the other hand, the usage of TeX might expand to larger applications if greater throughput were available.
* However, as things stand now, one can always divide documents up by hand, typeset the parts independently, and stitch them back together using tools such as divert/undivert. One can even design a document with the spec that the canonical typesetting process is to typeset the sections independently; then the sections can never affect each other, except for explicitly added inter-section effects like page reference updates.
