FWIW, doubling the size of the TAGS file will also double the size of
the obarray and hence increase the completion time similarly regardless
of whether we keep using an obarray or if we switch to searching the
TAGS buffers.

Yet another alternative is to build a trie, which would speed up
prefix (and partial) completion (but not substring completion).
