retitle 9065 Speed up compile.el scanning
thanks

Yes, the scanning performed is problematic for large buffers.
There are several ways to improve the problem:
1- make the job more lazy.  E.g. split compilation--ensure-parse into 3 parts:
   a- a position independent part (that can be done one a region
      regardless of preceding text) to use in font-lock.
   b- a position-dependent part doing all the heavy lifting, used in next-error.
   c- the rest is also position-dependent but also used from font-lock,
      i.e. works just like the current compilation--ensure-parse and hence
      is the source of performance problem (so it should do as little as
      possible).
2- speed up the scanning done in syntax-propertize.

I suspect most of the time is spent regexp-matching, and this regexp
matching can be done some other way (instead of a loop over various
regexps each one matched via re-search-forward using a backtracking
matcher, we could combine them all into a single regexp matched via
a non-backtracking matcher, except for the few regexps using back-refs).

I.e. option (2) is clearly possible and could reduce the performance
problem by a very large amount.

But option (1) is also possible and highly desirable.

Patches welcome.

The failure is never so severe that it comes to debugging ... But I =20
found the cause for the slow down, when I repeated this a lot in =20
*compilation* buffers with warnings in them: the cursor is not just =20
moved to the end of the buffer, while this happens the text is scanned =20=

for warnings, errors, etc. The same seems to be true when using =20
isearch. It's also pretty slow in *compilation* buffers.

I don't know whether this is documented (it should be). What I'd wish =20=

is that I could configure/customise the (large, > 10,000 lines) =20
*compilation* buffers (often compiling with -H and -Wl,-t) that it is =20=

not scanned for compiler reports, either unconditionally or =20
conditionally based on the number of lines in the buffer, that this =20
scanning stops when the number becomes greater than a certain value. =20
There are means to search for these compiler reports, so there should =20=

not be a side-project performed when moving the mark or isearch'ing.

Try (setq debug-on-quit t) and then `C-g'.  Post the backtrace here.

Launched with -Q, to see whether effects I encounter in customised =20
copy might be due to the customisation. Here in a *compilation* buffer =20=

the compilation of GCC happens =96 100,000 or so lines of output. When I =
=20
want to go the bottom of the buffer and type ESC-> the wristwatch =20
cursor appears. It can stay of minutes, maybe even longer. No movement =20=

of the text in the buffer happens. But when I press C-g the cursor is =20=

at once at the end of the buffer and is pushed further forward from =20
the output just happening.

I have the impression that a few thousand lines have to be between the =20=

point where I type ESC-> and the end of the buffer =96 and maybe text =20=

insertion has to happen. One constraint could also be heavy CPU load =20
and GNU Emacs swapped out due to leaving it untouched for hours. It =20
behaves very inert when I pick it to be the active X client. The =20
cursor appears after seconds and heavy disk activity is indicated.
