That's right.  However, despite the name,
`lazy-highlight-buffer-max-at-a-time' also influences the time needed to
compute the number of matches in the buffer.  So, when you set
`isearch-lazy-count' to t, those numbers in the table of my first
message indicate the delay between typing a search string and seeing the
number of matches in the buffer (as well as the relative position of the
current match) in the echo area.

Perhaps you don't use `isearch-lazy-count', but if you do, you must have
noticed it's often a bit slow to update.
