Issue in 2012 is unrelated to performance. And for some reason this
thread is drifting away from the original request. 

The request was to set font-lock-maximum-decoration to 2, in order to
give to mode developers a much higher flexibility in choosing the
default highlighting, and providing users with higher optional levels
of fortification.

Setting it to t, or removing altogether, imposes one-side-fits-all
philosophy, which is absurd in the case of such a subjective matter as
font-lock.

Vitalie.
