forward-comment and indentation --- what happened?!
forward-comment in 21.2 (and 21.4) is _far_ slower than it is in 21.1.
Consider this profile of indent-for-tab-command run 25 times at the
end of config.h.in (with font lock turned off --- turning it on making
it so slow that it's nearly unusable)

This produces a noticeable delay.
It barely shows up under the same conditions (same test, same version
of cc-mode (heck, symlink to the same xemacs-packages directory).
Does this happen for anyone else?
