Since the past few releases, I keep getting these very annoying messages when I start VLC, saying that its rebuilding the font cache.

It's not only horrendously slow, but sometimes it even freezes or crashes VLC.

To disable this message, do the following:

Got to the "Preferences" menu and click the "Show all" button. 

Next, go to "Video" -> "Subtitles / OSD" and change the "Text rendering module" to "Dummy font renderer" and click the "Save" button.

Not sure if it's needed, but I'd restart VLC after that.
