There are two different cases in helm-locate behavior:

1) for example, pattern: package

helm-locate begins to show candidates immediately. (Note: locate -i -e package gives thousands of candidates.)

2) pattern: package.rcp

helm-locate waits a few seconds and begins to show candidates. (locate -i -e package.rcp gives 20+ candidates.)

I tried different patterns: 2) proceeds to 1) at aproximately 300 candidates. But anything-locate works quickly in both cases. How to make helm-locate work quickly for a small number of candidates?

Upd. I added issue https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/840 and screencast http://youtu.be/xL9JggHZmfs (there is 3 seconds delay: 18, 19 and 20).
