I’m on linux, and yes, it does. Opening the font selection menu can take for me, with 7000 installed fonts, about half an hour sometimes. I just don’t do that, instead select fonts by name (I know most of them now).

But you don’t notice it until you open a font selection menu.

That's insane! Guessing you don't use Photoshop. At least, the last version I used (I think CS5), the font selection was weird and, no matter what, required that you open the drop down. Bleh. Haha
Photoshop on linux, that’s funny ;P

But seriously, I had to use Gtk3's font selection menu today, and it was impossible to work with it.

Also on Ubuntu. I (only) have 671 fonts, no delay at all for me.
