bug#26402: 25.2; Font rendering extremely slow on any non-default font


From: Gennady Uraltsev
Subject: bug#26402: 25.2; Font rendering extremely slow on any non-default font
Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2017 15:48:38 +0200
User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/45.8.0

Font rendering in emacs is incredibly slow if any buffer-local change is
made i.e. unless using 'default.

I tried moving the cursor in a small (30 line) text file in emacs under
X. It works perfectly, also changing the default font size with

set-face-font or set-frame-font

works perfectly well. On the other hand, any buffer local change of font
makes everything extremely slow. These modifications include
(buffer-face-set 'fixed-pitch)

or

text-scale-adjust

The cursor gets redrawn around once every second making using emacs
impossible.

I am attaching the profiler logs for moving the cursor from the
beginning to the end of the 30 line buffer
