My lappy is less new but not really that slow -- compared to the hardware of the original reporter it's a speed demon --
but opening the file takes almost 4 s here. More importantly, scrolling through the file is painfully slow.

The code in the file is nothing out of the ordinary; it consists of macros that are 1-3 lines each; definitely not a pathological case. The entire fontification takes 64 s for this file.

I'd say the complaint is warranted, even if the original reporter is no longer reachable. Reopen?

Alan, do you have a diagnose?
