Ok.

did you also try:

--  Local Variables:
--  jit-lock-defer-time: 0.5
--  End:

Ah. I edited GPS configure to eliminate libclang; I should also have
eliminated GTK. I'll try that.

When I do that, I use a parallel directory. That simplifies diffs and
updates later.

Excellent.

You can set that for that one large file, via file Local Variables:

--  Local Variables:
--  ada-gps-size-threshold : 10000
--  End:

Ok. You'll lose some fontification and navigation.

I'm working on a setting that uses the wisi parser for fontification and
navigation, on files < ada-gps-size-threshold, and ada-gps indentation
for all files.
