Hello, Bastian.

That was quick work.  :-)

I've got the file you sent me, thanks very much, and I will treat it as
confidential.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the slowdown in that file, at least,
not starting from emacs-26.0.91 -Q.  I think you've got quite a lot of
non-default minor modes active, and I've a suspicion that we're seeing
some interaction between CC Mode and one of these minor modes, or
possibly some other non-default setting you've got set.

Would you please try to reproduce the problem with emacs -Q, and if you
can't, try to pinpoint which one of your settings/minor modes is the one
which CC Mode is working badly with.

We'll crack this!
