I tried reproducing this on Catalina with Emacs 28, and I was unable
to -- Emacs didn't find a font for the burger symbol, but there was no
noticeable delay while looking for the font.  (After installing Symbola
it displayed the character correctly.)

So I'm going to go ahead and guess that this has been fixed now, and I'm
closing this bug report.  If anybody's seeing this on a modern
macOS/Emacs combination, please respond, and we'll reopen.
