Although it seems obvious to me, Drew can easily verify this by temporarily 
removing the non-ASCII characters from simple.el, restarting Emacs, and visiting 
the file.

While we're on the subject, free_realized_fontsets uses an inefficient algorithm 
and is likely related to the problem. So he might also try commenting out the 
body of free_realized_fontsets and seeing what happens.

Or better yet he could profile Emacs, either at a high level or via 
--enable-profiling.
