This is odd.  Starting from emacs -Q, when does this issue manifest
itself?  Specifically, is this the case when typing in a new text buffer
(pointing to a local file, and not over the network) in
fundamental-mode?  If not, what's the minimal reproducible example
starting from emacs -Q?  If you have already submitted a bug-report with
those details, could you please post the reference?

Also, what version of Emacs is this based on?  Which platform?  And how
was the binary built?  Etc.

Is this with emacs -Q?  For me, with emacs -Q, in *scratch* buffer the
above keybinding invokes `describe-symbol'.  On Emacs 29.4 on GNU/Linux,
I experience no noticeable delays when typing in minibuffer.  Similar to
above could you please share a minimal reproducible example?
