This bug has been present in c-mode for at least a year, but I haven't
gotten around to report it. The reason is that bugs about latency are
erratic and tricky to triage. Typing when the cursor is on some
syntatic constructs in c-mode causes severe lag on the order of several
hundred milliseconds on my (admittedly slow) laptop. The lag
makes c-mode almost unusable. Here is an MWE:

    void foo(uint dc_dim, uint sc_dim,
             uint fy_dim, uint fx_dim,
             __global const float * restrict F,
             uint sy_dim, uint sx_dim,
             __global const float * restrict S,
             uint padding,
             __global float * restrict D) {
        uint dy_dim = sy_dim + 2 * padding - fy_dim + 1;
        uint dx_dim = sx_dim + 2 * padding - fx_dim + 1;

        // Place cursor at "y" in "dy_dim". Hold "y" and observe lag.
        uint dn = dc_dim * dy_dim * dx_dim;
        uint sn = sc_dim * sy_dim * sx_dim;
    }

I can make typing even laggier by wrapping foo in foo, like this:

    void foo(...) {
    ...
    void foo(uint dc_dim, uint sc_dim,
             uint fy_dim, uint fx_dim,
             __global float * restrict F,
             uint sy_dim, uint sx_dim,
             __global float * restrict S,
             uint padding,
             __global float * restrict D) {
        uint dy_dim = sy_dim + 2 * padding - fy_dim + 1;
        uint dx_dim = sx_dim + 2 * padding - fx_dim + 1;

        // Place cursor at d[y]_dim. Hold "y". Observe lag in c-mode.
        uint dn = dc_dim * dy_dim * dx_dim;
        uint sn = sc_dim * sy_dim * sx_dim;
    }
    }

The more times I wrap foo the slower c-mode gets. So if you have a
fast computer try nesting foo in foo 50 times... I have observed the
same annoying input lag on multiple computers and I don't use any
special c-mode configuration.

Please cc me as I'm not subscribed to the list.
