Why Emacs Consult async searches feel slow and how to speed them up

The Consult package for Emacs provides asynchronous search commands with intentionally conservative default delays to balance responsiveness with CPU efficiency. Users who prefer faster feedback can reduce the `consult-async-input-debounce`, `consult-async-input-throttle`, and `consult-async-refresh-delay` variables to lower latency, which speeds up the Emacs UI's feedback loop rather than the underlying search tools themselves.
