(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I tried reading a large .flac file with "cat" on the terminal and with
Emacs over sshfs, and there didn't seem to be any large difference in
time for me (on Debian/bullseye with Emacs 28).

Are you still seeing this issue with more recent versions of Emacs?
