I experience these slow‐downs too on my work (Windows 10) PC.
I found that I could reduce the delays by defining fallback
fonts explicitly using:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Droid Sans Mono")
(set-fontset-font nil 'unicode "DejaVu Sans" nil 'append)
(set-fontset-font nil 'unicode "Courier New" nil 'append)
(set-fontset-font nil 'unicode "Symbola" nil 'append)
but it doesn’t get rid of them completely.
Switching to the new optimized Emacs 25 build improved things a bit
too, unsurprisingly.
