It's taking a while here (pretty standard GNU/Linux x86_64 system),
but something on the order of 20 seconds, not 4 minutes.

in ftcrfont.c:

  pat = ftfont_entity_pattern (entity, pixel_size);
  FcConfigSubstitute (NULL, pat, FcMatchPattern);
  FcDefaultSubstitute (pat);
  match = FcFontMatch (NULL, pat, &result); <===========
  ftfont_fix_match (pat, match);

This is where it spends so much time. "perf record emacs -Q" suggests
it's a function called FcCharSetSubtractCount. (You might try running
that on your setup, too).
