As I already said a few days ago, this is not my problem.  There is no 
possible solution for modes which don't use the Emacs interfaces as they 
are supposed to be used, except disabling the new feature, which is 100% 
backward compatible, in these modes.  In the meantime two other people 
(Stefan and Eli) explained, with different words and viewpoints, why CC 
Mode should not do what it does.  You made it very clear that you don't 
care.  End of story.

The long line optimizations does not claim to be a solution to all 
possible hangs.  Doing that is theoretically impossible, as you may know. 
They only claim to be a practical solution to alleviate a particular class 
of hangs.

I have no desires whatsoever.  I worked (and still work) to fix a 
long-standing bug in Emacs, by which I was, incidentally, not affected 
myself.
