FYI, That fix will probably appear in a 1.7.0 release after a few new features have been added. As for timings, 0.9.14 only searches for a word, not the word and language, so it will be much faster as it does not require any code parsing at all. Sigil, unlike calibre (unless Kovid changed it recently) only finds that word in the specified language so if a common misspelling exists in multiple languages it will just find the one matching the specific language being searched for. So the timings are actually not comparable since they do different things.

Once 1.7.0 is released in a few months (or if people build their own from master) if others see the same timing issues with your test case (that I can not reproduce under macOS) we can revisit things to see if something platform specific is at issue.
