Seems to work very well.

   already, I suspect that the performance issue is only in our heads,

That is what we have to assume unless somebody would come up with some
really strong evidence to the contrary.   On my machine, the
highlighting corrects instantaneously, even for complex examples that
completely change by deletion or addition of a single character.
