Ok, I've done that (am now using the version of cc-mode from 23.4 in my 24.1
Emacs, and everything is super-snappy again).

Thanks!  Just FYI: This doesn't just make scrolling laggy.  I have some long C
files which, if I add a statement that breaks up the fontification (for
example, I'm writing code that isn't yet valid), the buffer slows down to the
point that it takes up to 20 seconds for Emacs to register each keypress!  The
old cc-mode doesn't have this problem at all.

Thanks again,
  John
