I'll actually autoload the function that does the conversion.

I don't know. If I run that command I get similar results to you (~ 50
sec). But now I've moved the code to its own file, and running that
command on the new file yields 3 seconds (which is roughly the same I
get from evaluating it inside Emacs).
So maybe it's not such a big time bomb.

I'll push the change and we'll see if it helps.

No idea! But it's something related to isearch.el.
