Shouldn't we also test for a non-nil value of `font-lock-mode'?

          (and (boundp 'font-lock-mode)
               font-lock-mode ;; <-- Test if font-lock is turned on.
               (fboundp 'font-latex-faces-present-p)
               (font-latex-faces-present-p TeX-quote-force-quote-faces)
               (font-latex-faces-present-p TeX-quote-force-quote-faces
                                           (1- (point))))

Okay, probably it's not much faster.

A more radical idea (sorry, I didn't look into the code in detail, so
maybe this is nonsense):

Couldn't the functions `TeX-in-comment' (and friends) and `texmathp'
test via font-lock (if turned on)?

IIRC I sometimes switched from comment to text and back (M-;) when I
wanted to edit a comment.

Bye, Reiner.
