I said those words just as I was working on improving font-lock's performance in JSON files. An effort which doesn't make sense if you narrow around font-lock anyway.Also note that until now it has been impossible to improve redisplay of big files by working on font-lock (other bottlenecks were much more significant).
Wrong. The (much more common) case of big files _without_ long lines, in which the same font locking slowdowns already exist, has AFAICS not been a sufficient incentive to improve font locking.
