Fontification of long code blocks can be very slow. The patch, which should be
in another other email, mitigates this by
adding an option to delay the fontification after the user has become idle by
using idle timers. This seems to be faster from my limited testing, but I'm not
sure if something will go horribly wrong because of the timers.

There is a trade-off in that there will be no syntax highlightinting when the
user is typing. I don't know how to keep existing fontification so it would be
great if somebody could share a solution to that.

I have signed the copyright papers so that shouldn't be a problem. This is my
first patch submission so any suggestions for improvement are welcome.

* lisp/org-src.el (org-src-font-lock-fontify-block): Add option to delay
fontification of source blocks.  If
`org-src-font-lock-fontify-idle-delay' is non-nil fontification of
code blocks is delayed until the user has become
idle.

Fontification of source blocks can be very slow. This will add an option
for users to delay the fontification until they have become idle so that
the typing delay is kept low. The trade-off is that there will be no
syntax highlighting when the user is typing.

I tried sending this patch once before, but I think it got caught as spam so I'm
trying this again.

Thanks for the patch.  My initial reaction is that I'm not sure about
adding an idle timer for a particular aspect of fontification.  If we do
go this route, I think the case needs to be made why this spot is
special, and why we don't expect or would reject follow-up patches for
this and that other area.

Have you explored whether jit-lock (e.g., jit-lock-defer-time) helps for
your use case?

No I didn't know about it. I have tried it now and it seems to solve
the same problem as my patch.

I can't think of a reason either (now that I know that jit-lock exists)
so I will retract my patch.
