Try the dictionary.json or the long-line.xml file with and without 
font-lock-mode.  Also try

emacs -Q
C-x C-f dictionary.json RET
y
C-s aan zich RET

and

emacs -Q
C-x C-f dictionary.json RET
y
M-x font-lock-mode
C-s aan zich RET

The first takes several seconds, the second is almost instantaneous.
