That's true, but with such big files, the initial scan is slow. So the scenario is simple: you open a big enough file, type M->, and C-p. M-> will be instantaneous, and C-p will take a while, because of syntax-ppss.Really? I'd expect that `M->` is slow because of `syntax-ppss` (called by font-lock) and then `C-p` is instantaneous.
Yes, really. M-> is fast because syntax-ppss is called inside fontification-functions, which are evaluated in a small portion of the buffer (with locked narrowing). And C-p is slow because post-command-hook is (or rather was) not subjected to the same locked narrowing.
