If you start moving with C-n or C-v, Emacs becomes unusable
approximately around the same buffer position with and without the
patch?  If so, I guess the expensive part is somewhere else.

I'd install this patch regardless, because it sounds like TRT not to
let syntactic fontifications run amok this way.  We do similar stuff
in bidi.c for similar reasons.

Thanks.
