Maybe? See below. Emacs is unusable for me if I don't reverse this patch.

Setting this to t doesn't make any visible difference to bug 21028. Was it
introduced to solve a different problem?
IOW, when I run (building on the example in the 21028 thread)
src/emacs -Q -mm --eval '(setq inhibit-compacting-font-caches t)' -l
21028.el 21028 -f prettify-symbols-mode
I get the same speed issues (each redisplay takes > 5 seconds), regardless of
the value of inhibit-compacting-font-caches.
Cheers,
Clément.
