Syntax Highlighting is toooo slow

Syntax Highlighting is toooo slow

[Steven Woody]

in varity of programming modes such as c-abbrev, c++-mode syntax highlighting
is a kind friend.  but i found these days that my syntax highting act too slow
to make feeling good. it is always when i type in the last half of the
code, the first half of code got colored correctly.  what's the problem?

Jesse: You want to know why I wrote that stupid book?
Celine: Why?
Jesse: So that you might come to a reading in Paris and I could walk
up to you and ask, "Where the fuck were you?"
Celine: [laughing] No - you thought I'd be here today?
Jesse: I'm serious. I think I wrote it, in a way, to try to find you.
Celine: Okay, that's - I know that's not true, but that's sweet of you
to say.
Jesse: I think it is true.

Are you using the ctypes functions, and have you defined many of your own
types?  I've had that slow me down some...

no! i tried a very simple test:

,----
| int main(void) {
|     int i = 0;
|     char *abc = "hello, world";
| 
|     while (i < 100)
| 	i++;
| 
|     exit(0);
| }
`----

after i from scatch input all the code above, there is no any color. then i
close the file and re-open it. the color comes up. :(

Jesse: I heard this story once about when the Germans were occupying
Paris and they had to retreat back. They wired Notre Dame to blow,
but they had to leave one guy in charge of hitting the switch. And
the guy, the soldier, he couldn't do it. You know, he just sat
there, knocked out by how beautiful the place was. And then when
the allied troops came in, they found all the explosives just
lying there and the switch unturned, and they found the same thing
at Sacre Couer, Eiffel Tower. Couple other places I think...
Celine: Is that true?
Jesse: I don't know. I always liked the story, though.
