For me, it fixes #1952: moving in etc/HELLO is again fast.

It does not fix #1990, though. Emacs is still repeatedly trying to
find fonts for characters that do not have one:

9 matches for "1501" in buffer: *Help*
     28:font for: (1501 . hebrew-iso8859-8)
    218:font for: (1501 . mule-unicode-0100-24ff)
    299:font for: (1501 . hebrew-iso8859-8)
    335:font for: (1501 . hebrew-iso8859-8)
    525:font for: (1501 . mule-unicode-0100-24ff)
    606:font for: (1501 . hebrew-iso8859-8)
    642:font for: (1501 . hebrew-iso8859-8)
    832:font for: (1501 . mule-unicode-0100-24ff)
