I came across the problem when I was using `C-u C-x =' on a SLIME
presentation. After some debugging, I found out the cause of the
problem. Here is it:
In a slime REPL buffer, when the evaluation result is rendered, SLIME
adds text properties using `slime-add-presentation-properties'. One
of the text properties is a syntax-table `slime-presentation-syntax-table'.
`C-u C-x =' calls `(describe-char (point))', which in turn calls
`describe-text-properties', which hangs with 100% cpu usage.
I think a possible fix could be done in `describe-property-list', adding
a case in cond to handle the type of syntax-table, something like:
diff --git a/lisp/descr-text.el b/lisp/descr-text.el
index 6c7983a177..926103f35e 100644

Thanks. Could you perhaps prepare a small test case for this problem?
It would help understanding the underlying problem, and possibly also
serve as a beginning of a test for our test suite.

A simplest test case is like:
(describe-property-list (list 'syntax-table lisp-mode-syntax-table))
evaluating this Elisp expression will hang with 100% CPU usage.

BTW, I also found that `describe-variable' has the same problem.
(describe-variable 'lisp-mode-syntax-table)
I have not looked into this yet, it could be the same bug.

Neither of these hang for me from emacs -Q, using latest master (fc0fd24c105b)
(benchmark 1 '(describe-variable 'lisp-mode-syntax-table)) ;=> "Elapsed time: 1.272053s (0.161946s in 6 GCs)"
(benchmark 1 '(describe-property-list (list 'syntax-table lisp-mode-syntax-table))) ;=> "Elapsed time: 1.165824s (0.139516s in 5 GCs)"

Indeed, I got the same result as you did from emacs -Q. I will look into my
configuration and provide more information. Thanks!

I get similar times here.

I found the culprit was this line in my configuration:
(setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
and common-lisp-indent-function is provided by
`.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20161109.640/contrib/slime-cl-indent.el'
I think it is a wrong configuration.
something in common-lisp-indent-function cause the huge slowing down.
thanks for your time and sorry for the false bug.

Okay, looks like a problem with slime-cl-indent.el then. Using Emacs'
common-lisp-indent-function (from lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-indent.el) I get
around 4 seconds, so it's slower but not a hang.
