Attached is two reports, one which is super slow, and one that is fast.

Recipe:
 - git clone https://github.com/unhammer/csharp-mode/
 - git checkout 164-repro
 - eval csharp-mode.el
 - open superslow.cs and write some text
 - rinse, repeat, but with
   
(c-lang-defconst c-multiline-string-start-char
  csharp ?@)

commented out.

One is unbearably slow, the other is super fast.

Hope this helps a little!

All the best,
Theodor Thornhill
