The problem is that this is, as I said, slow. On my laptop, opening a 1 GB file takes about 6 seconds. The call to syntax-ppss adds 70 seconds, so opening a large file becomes an order of magnitude slower (13 times slower).It's meaningless to talk about the time taken by `syntax-ppss` without specifying the major mode that was in use.
It isn't. The benchmark above was with a JSON file (js-mode), but you'll see the same ratio with an Elisp file for example:
for I in $(seq 1 2500); do cat lisp/simple.el; done > complex.elThat file opens in about 5 seconds, and (benchmark-run 1 (syntax-ppss (point-max))) takes about 45 seconds.
Sure, there are perhaps modes that are slower, but my tests seem to indicate that the 1/10 ratio is correct, or IOW that syntax-ppss is an order of magnitude slower than opening the file.
You might also want to compare to the time to run (parse-partial-sexp (point-min) (point-max)) which is a kind of "speed of light" for `syntax-ppss`.
What do you mean? With the above file (benchmark-run 1 (parse-partial-sexp (point-min) (point-max))) takes 55 seconds.
