I use logrotate to compress /var/log files so these are saved as (e.g)
syslog.1.gz
When I edit them, I have global-font-lock mode set but
font-lock-maximum-size is set to (the default) 256000 and the current
buffer is 9000000 but font-lock-mode still appears to be on and
whenever I try to scroll around the log file it's trying to parse it
as nroff - not a great success.
Takes forever to page up:
parse-partial-sexp(1 9649428)
font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region(9649428 9650100 nil)
font-lock-default-fontify-region(9649428 9650019 nil)
font-lock-fontify-region(9649428 9650019)
run-hook-with-args(font-lock-fontify-region 9649428 9650019)
jit-lock-fontify-now(9649428 9649928)
jit-lock-function(9649428)
scroll-down(nil)
Don't like the look of that parse-partial-sexp ! I realise the real fix is
something like
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("^/var/log" . fundamental-mode))
but should anything be parsing 9meg of text for just-in-time hilighting?
