In GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (i686-w64-mingw32)
of 2017-04-24 built on LAPHROAIG
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 10.0.16288
Configured features:
XPM JPEG TIFF GIF PNG RSVG SOUND NOTIFY ACL GNUTLS LIBXML2 ZLIB
TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS
Important settings:
value of $LANG: en_US.utf8

With composed two colon characters Emacs become extremely slow.
I figured that out when enabled cfengin3-mode and two colons :: was shown as
single composed character.
With runemacs -Q it slows down when you cross that character by moving
pointer.
Here's info in cfengine-mode buffer for composition:

Please provide a simple reproduction recipe, for reference, if you
can.

MS Gothic is known as a trouble-maker in this context. Can you try
installing Symbola? Doing that might eliminate the problem. Emacs
will automatically use Symbola, if installed, for such characters.
Another possible remedy is to customize inhibit-compacting-font-caches
to a non-nil value.

With C-x 8 RET 2237 RET I place "problematic" character into buffer and
Emacs becomes to have problem with responsiveness (when I move cursor,
especially if it cross problematic character).
Possibly it is a problem with redisplaying what is on screen.
That is not a single character that cause problem. I detect a lot of them
inside buffer:
M-x describe-input-method RET TeX RET
It seems that any which isn't same width as "Courier New" - cause a problem.

With:
(setq inhibit-compacting-font-caches t)
redisplay lags was disappeared on cursor moves.
I searched for suggested font and before figured out how to install fonts
on Windows I looked to charmap.exe and found that I already had Dejavu Sans
Mono which covers special characters.
I ended with adjusting my previous settings ("symbol" part) to:
(cond
((eq window-system 'x)
(if (and (fboundp 'find-font) (find-font (font-spec :name "DejaVu Sans
Mono-11:weight=normal")))
(set-frame-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-11")
(set-frame-font "7x14")))
((eq window-system 'w32)
(set-frame-font "Courier New-10:antialias=none")
(set-fontset-font nil 'cyrillic "Courier New-10:antialias=none")
(set-fontset-font nil 'greek "Courier New-10:antialias=none")
(set-fontset-font nil 'phonetic "Courier New-10:antialias=none")
(set-fontset-font nil 'symbol "DejaVu Sans Mono-10:antialias=none")))
That is better then looking to ugly MS Gothic font.
Is it possible to adjust font choosing preference to try well known fonts
(like DejaVu) before falling to ugly and buggy MS Gothic? So other Emacs
users will have less problems on Windows .

IME, only some fonts cause this, MS Gothic is one of them.

Great, then I guess this bug can be closed?

We already do that by default, but we prefer Symbola, as its coverage
is much better.
If you want to use DejaVu Sans Mono instead, you can customize your
fontset accordingly, see fontset.el for examples of how to do that.

Emacs font fallback mechanism started to pick "DejaVu Sans Mono" even when
special characters is defined to be displayed with Symbola.

OK. It seems a bit complicated to configure too many character regions. As
I wrote above Emacs somehow started to prefer "DejaVu Sans Mono" as
fallback font and I don't need to do anything else for now.
But it is better to install necessary fonts. At least I know where to
search for spec.
For example it is very surprising to see specific font for drawing boxes:
;; Box Drawing and Block Elements
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x2500 . #x259F)
'("FreeMono" . "iso10646-1") nil 'prepend)
Thanks for support!

Done, thanks.

There's no end to customizing font sets, and no single font satisfies
everyone. We had to stop somewhere and leave the rest to local
customizations.

That's for GNU/Linux systems, as this font is widely available there,
and covers well this range of characters.
