Thanks.

Alan, can you look into this?  It could be some problem in
csharp-mode, but the profiler says 97% of the time is spent in a CC
mode code, so maybe you can shed some light on this?

I see that almost the entire 6896-line file is enclosed in a single
"namespace LDB { ... }" block, maybe this is the reason?

Here's the main portion of a profile measured on my system from just
inserting 3 characters at BOB of the file attached by the OP.  An
unoptimized build of Emacs 28 took about 2 min(!) to process those 3
self-inserting characters.
