I have another problem with ispell timeouts: oftentimes text contains
characters that mismatch the charsets used by ispell.  Then ispell
waits 5 sec for every such character to display a useless error message.
I used such change to minimize the time spent looking at these messages:

diff --git a/lisp/textmodes/ispell.el b/lisp/textmodes/ispell.el
