Yes. I am enhancing CC Mode's function `c-parse-state' so that it can handle "brace deserts" (source files with few or no braces) at a tolerable speed. Currently, (in a file supplied by Dave Milter, who reported the bug), scrolling back a screen from EOB takes several seconds. This change involves ~1200 new lines of code in cc-engine.el, and is about "99% complete". I anticipate commiting it in a few days time, before the end of the month. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
