Ooops! It is emacs-25 indeed, but with the original noise-macros patch
that was later committed to master by Alan.

My config command is

../emacs/configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x-toolkit=lucid

which is optimized, AFAIK.

I have GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (i686-w64-mingw32) of 2016-04-21 on a VM
machine and isearching for IF_LINT on xdisp.c on that build is also
instantaneous. Configured and built with no added options. The same
build on a 7 year old netbook also isearches IF_LINT with no perceptible
delay. Moreover, I have installed the `anzu' package, which shows on the
modeline a (M/N) count where N is the total of matches on the buffer and
M is the current match on the series. This possibly adds quite a bit of
work to the bare isearch.

There is no significant change on the time taken for displaying the
buffer when the file is visited too. Quickly pressing the Page/Down key
saturates the CPU on the netbook, but IIRC that also happened before the
noise-macros change.
