"To respond"?  That is, Emacs sends something to the service, and the
time between that and the response is too long?

Are you sure it's the time between the input to the service and its
response that's long?  Could it be that Emacs delays sending the input
instead?

Maybe you could describe in more detail how the communications between
Emacs and the service work.  E.g., what triggers sending input from
Emacs to the service?
