It happens with both Emacs 27 (just did a pull/make, so it’s up to
date) and the master branch. I’ve not tried 26.

All the testing here is with emacs -Q on the master branch. With my
full configuration it seems even worse as even just typing the path in
can slow down Emacs. I don’t know if that’s related, though.
