It takes 11 sec here on the first invocation, and is instantaneous
thereafter.

If you install additional fonts, the feature will not be wasted, I

Yes, an option to turn this off is a good idea, I think.

That doesn't really work for me, FWIW. For example, try deciding
which quotation character do you need by typing
C-x 8 RET *QUOT TAB
If you don't see each character, you will be lost (I am).
