Last time I checked it took about 10 seconds to render over 8000 korean 
characters on P3 @ 600MHz with subfont-c, but I'm sure it could go faster.

There is a way to distribute them legally! A quote from freetype at freetype.org mailing list:
 Note that my machines are Debian systems, and that I installed
 the "msttcorefonts" package on them. On installation, it
 automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft's site,
 displays the required legal disclaimer, and installs them
 on the machine. All of this absolutely legally !!
