As a matter of interest, you can run

    emacs -Q -L ~/cc-mode /path/to/file.C

, this being less effort to type.  (I don't understand why you've got the
`require' form in there - maybe you really do need it.)  :-)

Yes, searching for "isinsha", I see the slowdown.  Thanks!  I also see
c-looking-at-or-maybe-in-bracelist as taking an excessive amount of
processing.

So I can reproduce it!

Thanks.  I actually run the tip of the standalone CC Mode as my default
CC Mode anyway, since I'm so often working on it.
