That consideration doesn't apply in this case, AFAIU, for 2 reeasons:
. 'locate' must be (and is) reasonably fast for this feature to be
liked by users. Otherwise, the results you see will lag behind
input, i.e. they will lie to you. In your screencasts one can
clearly see that you type a character and wait for the result to
appear before you type the next one, which is what I'd expect, so
a synchronous subprocess that does its job quickly will fit this
very well.
. Typing at a very fast rate will prevent Emacs from reading output
from 'locate', if it is run asynchronously, so you will see no
results at all in this case. Not really useful, IMO.
