Take a look at emacs/etc/DEBUG where you'll see how to run Emacs under
a debugger and interrupt it every once in a while to see what it's doing
doing this time.

That does not change the buffer size. What gave you the impression that
your problem is related to font-lock? Does the problem disappear if
font-lock is turned off?

It could simply be hitting a bad regexp that has an exponential behavior.
Setting debug-on-quit to t and hitting C-g during the hang might help
figure out what's going on.
