(1) list-charset-chars lists characters with code-points of
    the specified charset, list-script-chars lists
    characters with Unicode code-points.

(2) These names are both charset and script, thus can't be
    distinguished just by names.
	lao, tibetan, ethiopic, symbol

(3) The name "list-charset-chars" is not suitable for what
    list-script-chars does.  If we are going to have just
    one command, the name should be, for instance,
    list-characters.

It's still instant with a fresh Emacs session in my
environment.  Actually, the completion list is created by:

(mapcar 'symbol-name (char-table-extra-slot char-script-table 0))

It shouldn't be that slow.  Could you investigate why it's
slow for you?
