When a font is first used with lualatex, luaotfload does some magic to produce font cache files.



For large fonts (e.g., Noto Sans CJK) this can take a lot of time and a lot of memory.



I have an old computer (5 year old MacBook air with 4GB RAM) running Linux with a 4GB swap partition. The initial cache generation of this font can take more than 15 min and render my computer unusable. Sometimes I just run out of memory and the process is killed.



Let's say I want to use the font as such:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont[Script=CJK,Language=Chinese Simplified]{Noto Sans CJK SC}
begin{document}
中文
end{document}


What is the least resource intensive way and/or fastest way to generate the required cache files?



At the moment, I quit everything (even X11) and run lualatex from the console, but it still takes a long time, and quitting everything is a bit of a pain.
