I think I noticed a problem with nxml-mode (not part of Emacs) and
fontification when an overlay has the property 'intangible. I am not
sure about what happens, but I believe that when such an overlay is over
text that nxml-mode wants to fontify then it fails and restarts again.
Emacs then grabs 99% of the CPU.
nxml-mode does its own fontification since it anyway parses the buffer
contents. What should fontification code do when there are some overlays
like this? Or text properties. Should it let bind
`inhibit-point-motion-hooks' to t, or? What does other fontification
code do in Emacs?

Since `intangible' is known to have many adverse effects, it's important to
describe this overlay: who made it, why, ...

I strongly recommend to not touch `intangible' even with a ten foot pole.

I made it. I removed it.

Yes, it is not very well implemented as you might remember I thought
earlier. I was just looking for an advice how to handle it with
fontification.
