Its value is 256000 Documentation: Maximum size of a buffer for buffer fontification. Only buffers less than this can be fontified when Font Lock mode is turned on. Looks like this variable doesn't work, and hasn't worked for a long time. It nothing when JIT lock mode is in use, and since fast-lock and lazy-lock are obsolete, it's pretty useless. (Anyway, source files larger than 250K are not uncommon.) If there are no objections, I am going to mark it as deprecated, and remove it from the manual.
