Actually it turns out the performance problem is unrelated (to even XEmacs)
and the crash is unrelated also.
Performance problem with your patch may be unrelated but there is some
problem with XEmacs and font-lock with big files. XEmacs 21.5 was a bit
better with lazy-lock but other changes to 21.5 have resulted in simple
things like manual-entry filling up my buffer with ^H^H all over, typing
M-x manual-entry from scratch it deletes the top line in scratch and puts
scratch in Manual mode and other weird things, that I am not able to use it
like I used to anymore.
I was hoping that your patch will restore atleast 21.4 to the same level as
20.4 but it's been a while since I used 20.4 or even 21.1 so all I can say
at the moment is that it is slow.
Hopefully 21.5 will get usable so that I can go back to using it, if there
are fundamental problems with 21.4 which are not worth backporting from
21.5.
