I don't either. However, when I profiled it on Fedora 27 (a low-level 
profile, with --enable-profiling) it was a hotspot. Although I am not 
observing the same horrible slowdown that Drew is (that is, first 
display of password-word-equivalents help is noticeably slower than for 
typical variables but it is not *horribly* slow), I'm suspicious of 
free_realized_fontsets, which is why I suggested that he comment it out.

We should move password-word-equivalents to an i18n-related file anyway 
(that is, regardless of Drew's problem), as password-word-equivalents 
doesn't belong in simple.el.
