Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried to change it to 200, I got such times:

lazy-highlight-buffer-max-at-a-time | time to finish counting
20 (current setting)                | 7 s
200                                 | 2 s

I hope this change will be a big improvement for everyone,
because users will lose less time waiting it to finish,
while keeping isearch still responsive.
