Then I think this is a problem we never saw before.  Unfortunately,
since I'm unable to reproduce this on my machine, I cannot debug it
further.  One last idea I have is to upgrade all the relevant
libraries to their latest versions.

The profiles clearly tell the problem is related to font metrics, but
they don't tell what exactly causes the slow-down or why.  Sorry.
