On a machine that is not very high-powered, opening some C files
and trying to edit/view them is very slow.

For example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qca/qcamain_open_hal_public/master/hal/ar9300/osprey_reg_map_macro.h

This is a large file and filled with macros.
Is there any way to view this without disabling font-lock entirely ?
I am using the master branch and I have these in my .emacs:

(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration
      (quote ((c-mode . 2) (c++-mode . 2) (t . t))))
(setq c-font-lock-extra-types
      (quote
       ("\\sw+_t" "bool" "complex" "imaginary" "FILE" "lconv" "tm" "va_list" "jmp_buf" "Lisp_Object"
	"u8" "u16" "u32" "u64"
	"s8" "s16" "s32" "s64"
	"__le16" "__le32" "__le64"
	"__be16" "__be32" "__be64"
	"__s8" "__s16" "__s32" "__s64"
	"__u8" "__u16" "__u32" "__u64")))

The machine is a low-end 10-inch netbook. Some details:
