Finally, I could reproduce it, with Emacs' profiler:

tramp-accept-process-output  197         198.93150910  1.0098046147
accept-process-output        197         11.273527755  0.0572260292

I have no idea why it happens, but I can play with it now, looking for a
solution. It also seems to happen only for smb connections; a profiling
of a (much slower) remote ssh connection yields

tramp-accept-process-output  664         271.61195060  0.4090541424
accept-process-output        664         115.90111166  0.1745498669

This is a much better rate between both functions. I run with
tramp-verbose 10, which causes tramp-accept-process-output to print traces.
