Hello, Emacs.
Just for fun, I downloaded the feature/tree-sitter branch, and tried
scrolling through a large C buffer, from file packet-rrc.c. This file
is part of Wireshark, and was the topic of bug #45248. It is just under
10 MB big.
To scroll all the way through the file with c-ts-mode took ~53 minutes.
For comparison, in C Mode it to ~157 seconds. That's a factor of around
20 difference.
Also of interest, towards the end of the buffer in c-ts-mode, the
font-locking gave up completely. It was in an initialisation for a big
brace block.
I'm probably not saying anything people don't already know, but the
measured timings might be helpful.
