I just checked in cvs
(http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/emacs/lisp/font-lock.el?rev=1.308&root=emacs&view=auto)
that font-lock-support-mode is still 'jit-lock-mode in emacs 22.

Is this still necessary? I mean we have pretty fast machines in these
days, so couldn't emacs perform the fontification in realtime? Did the
subject come up on emacs-devel during development of emacs 22?
