Done.  It is "Poll and discussion: Which do you prefer: fast-lock,
lazy-lock, or lazy-shot?" at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emacs.xemacs/browse_thread/thread/58a91baae23b5e73

Let me know when you want the summary of emailed votes.  (Note though
that after 4 hours I've so far not gotten any emailed votes.)

I posted a variant of your idea.  See "Which font-lock speedup system
should XEmacs use by default? Also please help us fill comparison wiki
page." at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emacs.xemacs/browse_thread/thread/b91e8f262c8adfd4
 but it seems nobody has edited the wiki page yet.

Cheers,
Jason
