So a fontset is always specified indirectly, via pattern or alias,
then.

Yes, it's way faster now.  Thanks.

Before your change, I've used short names to avoid the slow execution
of set-fontset-font:

   (if (not (string-match "^fontset-" fontset))
       (setq fontset
             (concat "fontset-" (aref (x-decompose-font-name fontset)
                                      xlfd-regexp-encoding-subnum))))

I thought this might specify another fontset that has the same alias
entry, and the long format could identify the fontset directly.
