Then that must be it, because recently I chose a new emacs base
font and installed several fonts to try them out. I currently
have 196 fonts installed.

Though I don't really get why repeated scrolling down is
slow. I'd think the first one is slow when emacs finds the font
for the character and then subsequent scroll downs should be
quick, because then the font for the character is known. 

It would be strange if the cached information were purged from
memory right after it was found and emacs had to find the font
again for the next scroll down.
