Sounds right, but I'm not sure what to do about this.
I don't wonder why so much time is passed on syntax-ppss, which is
generally expected to be relatively fast.
Maybe sgml-syntax-propertize is called too often (I see it's mostly
called from skip-syntax-forward; maybe we should call syntax-propertize
explicitly beforehand with a more distant position so
sgml-syntax-propertize is called just once).
