FYI, a 2005 fontconfig bug report about slowness when loading MingLiU:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3838

The solution is caching: “TrueType fonts are broken in various ways;
fontconfig works around this by scanning the entire font once and
caching the result. That's why it caches things.”

Caching is fine with me.
