I didn't investigate the difference in behavior between Windows and
GNU/Linux, because I see similar behavior on both systems if I
neutralize all the "contaminating" factors which I described.  It is
possible that it's easier to get the 30-sec delay on Windows because
keyboard input works without signals there, and uses messaging between
2 threads running within the Emacs process.

In any case, my point is that your expectation for immediate return is
incorrect, and I tried to explain why.
