Hi,

I tried emacs-cvs package from my Linux distributive.
M-x version says that it is GNU Emacs 23.1.90.1.

It much, much better then previous version, yes it still eats cpu,
during fast scrolling, but not continuosly, and stop eat cpu, after I
scroll all file.

But I faced with another problem, have no idea is it related to new
code in c-mode.

Time to time magic tab stop working.

For example, I have code like this
if (foo) {
}
I insert line after if (foo) {
if (foo) {
if (boo) {
}
tab not move "if (boo) {" to position with right indentation.

But if I kill buffer, and repopen file all works as expected.
I can not find way to constantly reproduce this bug,
this happened time to time, when I insert a couple of lines into
existing code, <tab> stop working in right way, I kill buffer,
open file again, and all works.
