Not in these tests.
is your x server on a slow network connection?
Nope, local. Full xlsfonts is 0.36s for 12K fonts.
as for init-mule-at-startup, what is the value of
`load-unicode-tables-at-dump-time'? if nil, it's maybe not too
surprising that it takes some time, as it's loading all the unicode
tables. if t, however (which is the default), these were already loaded
at dump time, and retrieved using pdump, so the slowness would be strange.
nil, no idea why since it's vanilla source except for my time
instrumenting. In any case these tables being unchanging should be at
C level and linked in.
