It does. As soon as I disable scroll-bar-mode, menu-bar-mode, 
tool-bar-mode and blink-cursor-mode.

It goes like this:

1. 'emacs -Q', disable stuff.
2. 'C-x p f', visit lisp/emacs-lisp/smie.el.
3. Search for something rare using 'C-x p g' (e.g. for "Coq-specific", 
but not necessarily).
4. Press 'q' to exit the search.

On step 3 or 4, the title bar will get updated noticeably faster than 
the frame configuration changes.
