Just to give you more insight about the efficiency and resource
consumption: these issues popped up several time in the past, and IIRC
the problems uncovered by people who tinkered with and profiled the
relevant code were such that trimming font-lock.el would not solve
them. For example, in some cases the syntactic fontification causes
Emacs to perform long searches (to find the beginning of a syntactic
entity), and thus slows down redisplay in large buffers, since
font-lock is run by hooks provided by the display engine.
I suggest to search the archives of emacs-devel for related keywords,
if you are interested in the details.
(I'm not saying that I'm for or against the proposal you put forward.
I just commented on something that seems to be related to this
discussion.)
