Yes, this is a well-known case that causes the current display engine
become very slow. IIRC, it has been like that since Emacs 21.1.

Please file a bug report. It is not unreasonable to expect the code
to be optimized in some way to cater to such use cases.
And thanks for taking your time to investigate this.
