Did anybody make an attempt at determining why this is slow on the
reported system? If calling that function is slow on that system, then
presumably that means that opening a TLS connection will now be
inexplicably slow the first time, right?

The system isn't managed by me and has some custom security certificate
crud that I didn't feel like digging into. You're right about TLS
connection delays, but I'm more willing to tolerate the delay in
connecting over a network (which is slow anyway) than I am in
process startup.

I think the decision was to install this on emacs-25, so please
cherry-pick from master.
Thanks.
