It makes backwards scanning here slower by a factor of 2 on the release
branch ;-) Now there is one thing I didn't notice earlier: The behavior
of my functions on the release branch seems OK and already as fast as
for Emacs 23 (actually, backwards scanning seems even slightly faster).

My earlier comparisons were for current master since that's where your
comment-cache changes apparently should have been applied to.  So
something's strange going on - the release branch is faster than master
by a factor of 20 on both of my functions.  Can you investigate what's
going on here?

Thanks, martin
