bug#35316: 26.2; Emacs lags in c++-mode buffer when editing with iedit-mode on

[Zhang Haijun <ccsmile2008@outlook.com>]

iedit.el(https://github.com/victorhge/iedit) is a multiple-cursors like package. It can setup more than one virtual cursors at different positions in the buffer. When you edit in the buffer, it clones changes at the main cursor to all other virtual cursors.

The problem is that: Emacs lags too much when editing in c++-mode with iedit-mode on.
Profiler shows that cpu are most used by c-after-change.
