Thank you for your suggestion.
Before implementing your idea, I'd like to try my idea.
In the fontification code, `re-search-forward' is used:
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "^[0-9a-f]+:" nil t)
(put-text-property (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)
'font-lock-face 'hexl-address-area))
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward " \\(.+$\\)" nil t)
(put-text-property (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1)
'font-lock-face 'hexl-ascii-area)))
I think it is possible to do the same thing without `re-search-forward'.
If `re-search-forward' takes longer time than `put-text-property',
the fontification code will be faster with my idea.
