There's at least a hint in this commentary at the beginning of font-lock.el: ;; Fontification for a particular mode may be available in a number of levels ;; of decoration. The higher the level, the more decoration, but the more time ;; it takes to fontify. See the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', and ;; also the variable `font-lock-maximum-size'. Support modes for Font Lock ;; mode can be used to speed up Font Lock mode. See `font-lock-support-mode'.
