Subject: bug#75342: [PATCH] Speed up asynchronous man page fontifying

I tried the patch on OpenSUSE Linux:
- with patch: gcc-14 man page formatted [in 12.790 seconds]
- without patch: gcc-14 man page formatted [in 24.272 seconds]

Man-prefer-synchronous-call t: gcc-14 man page formatted [in 0.559 seconds]

I was surprised how fast the synchronous formatting was. Why is the
asynchronous operating so slow?
