Ah, so that's why stealth was disabled by default - the battery.
For my current project (finding CC Mode "found types") stealth
fontification is not ideal - what I need is a single pass through the
whole buffer to detect the types, and that should be as fast as
possible. The current stealth fontification is not fast (it doesn't
need to be) and carries on working until Emacs is shut down.
So, it seems I want something like stealth, but not quite. How about,
say jit-lock-single-fontification - it would apply to individual buffers
only, would scan through the buffer precisely once, and would do just
enough 500-byte chunks at at time to take 0.05 seconds (configurable).
On my machine in C Mode, approximately 100 chunks are fontified per
second. So if we had jit-lock-single-nice at 0.1 seconds, the time
taken to scan xdisp.c would be approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes. On a
smaller file, say syntax.c (a tenth of the size) it would take 5 - 10
seconds. This is barely worse than context fontification, and would
only happen at mode start up.

Yes. This feels like a difficult problem, otherwise it would have been
done a long time ago.
