So Symbola and Courier New don't cause slowdown, while MingLiu does?

Do you have some custom fontset setup, or does Emacs use MingLiu for
the WAVY LOW LINE by default, in "emacs -Q"?

(But the way, setting language environment to UTF-8 on Windows is not
a good idea, it will cause you trouble unless you make further
customizations to countermand that.)

Thanks.
