Maybe because input on Windows is not signal-driven, and therefore
while-no-input relies on the Lisp code paying frequent attention to
QUIT.

I tried just now enabling icomplete-mode in "emacs -Q", and can
confirm that "C-x C-f" becomes painfully slow to react to typing in a
large directory, especially with a cold cache.
