I have arial.ttf, and locate runs in about 100 ms for me. I'll grant
you that it's annoying the FIRST time I use a new font type because it
has to fetch all the sub-styles, but after that, they get cached and
it's very fast.

How fortunate you are: Look at this list, at 20 seconds each, I had to wait three minutes! Just for selecting a font (that wasn't there).

locate-sam--rphvr9-ttf.err
locate-sam--rphvr10-ttf.err
locate-sam--rphvr1000-ttf.err
locate-sam--rphvr-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplr9-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplr10-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplr1000-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplr-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb9-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb10-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb1000-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb13-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb12-ttf.err
locate-sam--rpplb11-ttf.err

But at least wth my locate caching it doesn't have to start all over again when texmacs crashes.
