Subject: bug#895: slow processing of process output
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 01:24:08 +0000

I tested in current master with mingw-w64 on Windows. The rgrep
command given in the OP takes 29 s in Emacs, but the corresponding
shell command[1] takes over a minute in Windows cmd.exe (at a guess,
that's because cmd.exe scrolls line-by-line so has to push a lot of
pixels).

Likewise, building Emacs is faster with "M-x compile" than it is on
the shell (from a clean checkout on my configuration it takes 7 min 43
seconds in Emacs and 9 minutes 15 seconds in cmd.exe).

I'm tempted to conclude that this bug has been fixed.
