bug#22519: 25.1.50; Emacs gets stuck while doing incremental search forward

[Vincent Belaïche]

Dear Eli,

Ok, I decided to make some test bench (herein attached).

I get the following interaction:

 $ ./emacs-bug22519.sh --fundamental no
-| mode: normal
-| latin-9=(0.588 5 0.031999999999999994)
-| utf-8=(111.257 146 1.3299999999999979)
 $ ./emacs-bug22519.sh --fundamental yes
-| mode: fundamental
-| latin-9=(0.209 0 0.0)
-| utf-8=(95.442 129 1.121)


As you see, in normal mode utf-8 is 189 times slower than latin-9, and
in fundamental mode, it is 456 times slower.

So, IMHO it is a bug: user expererience is *GREATLY* damaged when you
have the funny math symbols displayed.

Please feel free to ask me to modify the attached script according to
your wishes, eg to new command line option, like making configurable
number of word insertion for shorter tests.

VBR,
        Vincent.
