First, you need to turn off global-font-lock-mode before visiting
xdisp.c.  Second, if you do turn off global-font-lock-mode, invoking
font-lock-fontify-buffer will fail in Emacs 24.3.  You need to do
something like this instead:

  M-: (let ((c-standard-font-lock-fontify-region-function 'font-lock-default-fontify-region)) (font-lock-fontify-buffer)) RET

If I do this in Emacs 24.3 and in the current trunk, I do see a
significant slowdown: it takes 18 sec with 24.3, and 72 sec with the
current trunk.

So I think the invocation from hook is not a factor here, which is a
Good Thing, because debugging this will be much simpler ;-)
