APPROVE COMMIT 21.5
Revision 5543:fbe90e6f7a43 "Initialize start and end properly (to new
markers, not Qnil)" introduced a bad performance regression, resulting
in map_extents (a fairly expensive function) being called ~15,000,000
times instead of ~100,000 times while fontifying python-mode.el.
Steven,
Thank you!
I noticed that after the chnage you mentioned, loading the 150K sendmail
deliver.c file took over 10 minutes. I kept meaning to report the
problem, but could not get around to it. An 80K elisp file I keep loaded
also took a long time. For both files, the slowdown appeared to be in
the "fontifying buffer" process.
