After (replaced 304172 occurrences) is shown, the replacement is
completely done. So if Emacs is still busy afterwards, it's busy doing
something else. Could be something related to font-lock, or could be many
other things, but if it stays that way for 5minutes, it looks like a bug, so
please try to investigate to see what's using up so much time and report
your findings via M-x report-emacs-bug.
