I have just updated most of the Count Pages plugin for Python 3, and I can see this happening. The non-ICU count for a 1.1 million word book took 11 seconds. Using the ICU library it was running for 10 minutes before I killed it. With 4.8, it was less than 20 seconds.

There were similar timings reported on some Linux boxes late last year. I couldn't dig into it, but, I assumed it was something like this as well.
