 alright, that did it, thanx again.
 
 so, with 21.1, the ',' insertion is instantaneous, and the indenting of
 the second param decl takes exactly 3 seconds. indenting lines in the
 function itself takes about half a second, which is also better than
 21.6
 
 so there really is a difference. want me to profile that one too ?
 do you want me to try with another long java file that i can give
 you? 
It's very important that you provide the file, preferrably along with
a "how-to-repeat" procedure that begins with `xemacs -vanilla'.
The reason for this is that I've encountered the font-lock/indentation
slowness myself, and complained about it.  The maintainer of the
syntax code asked me to provide an example, which is when I found that
I couldn't repeat the extreme slowness using `xemacs -vanilla', or
after firing up any new XEmacs.  If you have a repeatable case for
slowness, please provide it.
