It's `emacs -Q` ran one time. Archlinux here, but Emacs is not from a
repository, but a ≈month old version from git.

Something similar can be reproduced in 2 steps:

    1. wget 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/raw/9a2d6f55b1276da11dd9b2c4c8e22a405576dfea/src/libinput.h
    2. emacs -Q --eval "(progn (find-file \"./libinput.h\")
(profiler-start 'cpu) (benchmark-run-compiled 10
(c-font-lock-fontify-region 0 (point-max))) (profiler-report))"

Since by default cc-mode.el doesn't use lexical-binding, you should
get this result:
    - ...           1 100%
       Automatic GC 1 100%

Do you want me to open a report for above?
