Then it would be slow from the command prompt too. I tried it first
from the command prompt and it was instantaneous. Then I switched to
emacs and run the exact same command again via call-process and it
took 6-7 seconds. (If I then try immediately from the command prompt 
again then there it's instantaneous again,)

I tried it with grep and I don't see the slowdown there, so I'm
out of ideas. (Simply using grep is not the answer, because
command line ripgrep is several times faster than grep, that's
why I wanted to use it from emacs too.)

I'll think of other ways of tracking down the problem. E.g. using
some systrace tool or something too see where emacs spends that
6-7 seconds.
