I do not disagree with you.  I am only saying there are two different bugs. 
The one related with slowness (and memory) and one related with the glyphs
shown when the text is selected.

This bug is about the former.  The latter, I think, is related to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12980 and/or
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60243 (see comment 4).

IMVHO, the patch fixes this particular bug (slowness and memory).
