I tried this in a tex file with about 2700 "the" matches, and it took
about half a second whether font-lock-mode was on or not (I assume
that's what you mean by "without fontification").

So I'm unable to reproduce this problem.  Are you still seeing this in
newer versions of Emacs?  If so, do you have a test file that
demonstrates this problem (starting from "emacs -Q")?
