[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

This one is even slower:

In some random buffer:

C-s honor  [to set the search default]
C-x b 2014-mar-jun.html RET
M-<
C-s C-s
[wait to find the first occurrence]
C-s [search for the second occurrence]

I counted around 45 seconds before it found the second occurrence.

In Emacs 23.2, the second occurrence takes only 7 seconds.
