 nxml-mode hangs on first failing isearch after opening big file
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2016 22:48:17 +0100

Hi,

I think I've found a strange performance bug in nxml-mode, where the
first failing isearch will hang and require a C-g, whereas the second
(for the same string or any other) is near-instant.

To reproduce:

$ wget https://unhammer.org/k/nxml-isearch-hang.xml
$ emacs -Q nxml-isearch-hang.xml
# Then in emacs, answer yes and isearch for e.g. "x-x":
y C-s x - x

Now it'll hang, and require a C-g. A subsequent search, however, is
instant.

If I rename the file to end in .txt so it opens in fundamental-mode, I
don't get the hang. This is quite annoying, since I very often open huge
xml files and immediately start isearching for something, meaning I
always have to wait for the hang, C-g, then search again.

The file is now 404, but I this sounds the same as Bug#33887 "26.1;
Emacs hangs for several seconds when going to the end of an XML file in
nXML mode".
