* How to debug high CPU usage -> hang

I'm editing in ReST mode, Windows 11, emacs 28.1.

Occasionally, I want to jump (search, etc.) and the CPU usage jumps and 
emacs hangs. I suspect a font-lock issue.

I fixed one by bisecting the text, then changing a table type.  Now I 
have another.

Is there a general way to debug?

I can suggest profiling and/or attaching a debugger.

Attaching a debugger to the lisp major mode, or building emacs from
source?

Attaching a debugger (GDB) to Emacs when its CPU usage jumps.  This
requires Emacs built with debug info, or installing the separate debug
info from your distro.

And if you get the Emacs source tree, you should read etc/DEBUG that
contains most of the informations you need to do this.
