Rendering of Chinese characters is very slow

[lionelfung7]

Describe the bug

To be able to display Chinese in the UI, I added a Chinese TTF file to the fonts.rs file using the font_data.insert() method. This file contains thousands of Chinese characters and some nerd characters. I then recompiled egui_demo_app in debug mode, ran it again, and found that it was very slow to open. After opening it, I tried to enter Chinese characters in an input box and the Chinese characters displayed normally, but they also appear to be slow and sluggish.

Additional context

Did you try release mode? How's the CPU or GPU usage looking when you are running the app?

[emilk]

Do you insert the TTF once or every frame? (I've seen people do the latter before)

After adding Chinese TTF, it took about 10 seconds to open egui_demo_app. Attached is CPU usage. If compiled in Release mode, the opening speed increases by about 5 seconds

Please refer to the attachment. I have added codes in these two places. I have also attached the TTF file

I tried it locally and had no problems with performance. Make sure you compile with --release!

Is this really an issue? If you take https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/master/examples/custom_font/src/main.rs and modify it with your own font, does it lag? On native, web, or both? Are you using --release? Is it the IME that is lagging? Can you use a profiler (e.g. puffin) to track down the problem?
