Could you please share your conclusions?
Initially I found some featurelets I did not like, so I changed them.
Now I like the feature. However, it has caused Emacs to run out of
memory and crash. I made a change recently that might fix this,
but it will take time before I see if things have got better.

Is there anything left to do in order to turn on global-font-lock-mode
by default? As far as I know it should be possible to do now.
I have occasionally had crashes in Emacs that have been running for a
while. I think there is still a bug in the handling of memory-full
conditions.
This Emacs has been running for about 2 weeks. I started it after the
last one crashed rather disastrously. This tells me that my code
which disables font-locking when memory is nearly full is not
sufficient.
But I don't know what more is needed.

Does setting gc-cons-threshold to a small value like 4000 increase the
likelihood of the crash? It's one of the things I try on sporadic
problems.

Remember that these crashes usually happen days or weeks apart. I
don't want to run in such a slow mode all the time, sorry.
