Well, it can't -- then the range would be incorrect, wouldn't it?

Anyways, range handling isn't all that slow, so the ~10 second delay
probably is caused by something else.  Try `(setq debug-on-quit t)'
and then `C-g' when things "hang" (sorta).  The resulting backtrace
should tell you which function is being slow.
