<pre>Mac folks are seeing major performance issues with fontconfig 2.12.1 and this
post to the fontconfig list by Zhiming Wang has some details about the issue:
<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2016-August/005811.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2016-August/005811.html</a>
In short, fc-cache fails to cache fonts in /System/Library/Fonts and, from then
on, every application that needs to read the cache triggers a cache build
(which fails again).
I first reported this to the homebrew folks. You can see how this is impacting
performance from sample output here:

(FYI: "2.12" is not available in the Version field of this bug form).
Let me know if you need anything to help debug this.
Thank you.</pre>
