Here it seems GIMP is looking in all the trash cans of the neighborhood in search for usable files without caring what app they belong to. That's what the people who look in trash cans usually do and why would GIMP want to be such a citizen ?
Gimp (or more accurately, the GTK support library it uses) isn't looking for files everywhere. It is just converting the fonts installed system-wide into something it can use. Yes, it takes time, but it should happen only once.

Even if Gimp came with its own set of fonts, people would want to use the fonts they use in other tools.
