Comment(by duncan.rumbold@…):

 I can also confirm that 2.9.0 + the latest patch posted here brings the
 times back to that of 2.8.0, and that an fc-cache -v shows that cache
 files don't need to be recreated once they already have been. This seems
 to be the same behaviour as 2.9.0 without any patches at all.

 I don't know if this is of interest but on my system, font cache files
 with 2.8.0 have filenames such as:
 /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig/0030f3da31c070a8906b7c5926cc3913-x86-64.cache-3

 while 2.9.0 with either no patches or the latest one above (i.e. the
 variations of 2.9.0 that 'work') creates files such as:
 /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig/0030f3da31c070a8906b7c5926cc3913-le64.cache-3

 2.9.0 with the two default patches (that cause the problem) doesn't
 generate such files, but did leave a trace of something:
 /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig-le64d8.cache-3

 It's as if 2.9.0 with the default patches has missed out a directory
 separator and the actual cache filename.
