Please define "extremely slow" in more quantitative terms. E.g., can
you show a comparative benchmark between these two versions of Emacs,
so that the relative times could be assessed?
Off the top of my head, I don't think we've changed anything
significant in how subprocess output is handled, but maybe I'm
misremembering, or there's a subtle bug.

On MS-Windows, only pipes are available, so it's unlikely that any
significant slowdown could go completely unnoticed. Unless the reason
for slow-down doesn't affect the MS-Windows build of Emacs.
