Hi,

This originated in http://code.google.com/p/autopair/issues/detail?id=21: 

start with `emacs -Q'
M-x eval-expression RET (insert (make-string 100000 ?a)) RET 
M-x eval-expression RET (latex-mode)                     RET 
M-x eval-expression RET (forward-sexp 200)               RET 
M-x eval-expression RET (forward-sexp 500)               RET 
M-x eval-expression RET (forward-sexp (point-max))       RET 

In some versions of emacs this does not happen, notably my earlier
Carbon Emacs "GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, Carbon Version
1.6.0) of 2009-07-26 on gs674-seijiz.local" after loading some lisp
libraries (don't know which), like the ones I have bellow (autopair,
yasnippet).

The purpose I use these kind of calls to `forward-sexp' is to check if
the buffer is sexp-balanced, as in autopair.el. Now I think I can work
around this in my lisp code without using this kind of call, but
still...

When point reaches the end of the buffer, scan_lists in
syntax.c can just return right? 

Thanks in advance,
Joao Tavora

I can reproduce this slowness even on Emacs 22.3.  It arises because
tex-mode wants to be able to signal an error if point is in a containing
expression that ends prematurely, so it does a bit of backtracking.
(This is the `skip-syntax-backward' call in latex-forward-sexp-1).

I'm not sure what the best way to fix this is, though.

I've committed this patch to trunk.
