It turns out not to have to do with the font-backend checkin (which
would have been a surprising conclusion).  It's something to do with the
tool-bar; indeed, disabling the tool-bar removes this slowdown.  There
were some tool-bar changes around that time; I'll try to track down the
specific problem.
