We want to solve all of them.

Don't we already have such a threshold?

But again, if you are just saying that the current balance between
response time and font-lock correctness is sub-optimal, and should be
made better by changing the values of the thresholds, that's a
different discussion.  For that discussion, we'd need a representative
enough sample of real-life files with long lines and in as many major
modes as possible, to make our balance really close to optimal.  I,
for one, will welcome more examples of such files, especially if they
use major modes we didn't consider until now.
