If you want to see an example, here is an LRF book I created a couple of years ago with an embedded Greek font. I find the speed way too slow, personally.
That is pretty bad.

Not quite as bad I was envisioning, but still a significant delay.

Of course, I was hoping I could get the LRF system to recognize a common font, like the ePubs seem to be able to do.
