Sorry, I wasn't clear.

It is a difference between 1 and 3 calls because a user can also run
octave in terminal and find that how responsive it actually is.
I noticed this long delay when completing empty strings
(octave-completion-at-point used to allow empty strings). Emacs will be
busy for a few seconds (something like 3 ~ 5 seconds in my laptop).
Given how often I use the TAB key, it was terrible experience.

I just want to point out these problems in the completion-at-point
machinery.
I think if completion-at-point can work well when there is a 2-second
cost in a completion-at-point function, it can provide an excellent
experience.
