It's not the case we ought to be optimizing for, I think, but the
performance concerns should be taken seriously.

What's a good benchmark for what we should be optimizing for? Ideally something somewhat-realistic as opposed to a microbenchmark.

It doesn't appear to be as simple as plenty of processes not doing very much. This benchmark:

cd leim && time make -B ../lisp/leim/ja-dic/ja-dic.el

is dominated by a single CPU-intensive Emacs process and takes about 19 CPU seconds on my home desktop. The proposed patch slows this benchmark down by about 0.6%. (I ran the benchmark ten times after a warmup run, and took the average of the ten user+system times.)
