bug#24938: 25.1; 25.1 slow cursor movement with Unicode on Windows

[Peromsik, Aaron]

 

 

Emacs 25.1 on Windows, including the new optimized build, is much

slower than Emacs 24.5 was when navigating files which contain Unicode

characters such as ▩ .  Cursor movement noticeably stutters when using

arrow keys or typing on a line which contains that character. Just try

moving the cursor along the two lines below to see the difference:

 

Char: ▩ (9641, #o22651, #x25a9, file ...) point=299 of 4451 (7%) column=19

Char:  (9641, #o22651, #x25a9, file ...) point=299 of 4451 (7%) column=19
