font-locking is slow

[PythonNut]

Scrolling tends to lock up. There is evidence that this slowness is caused by

• rainbow-delimiters
• adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode

Here is a very dubious piece of code to disable rainbow-delimiters mode JIT.

(defvar quark/rainbow-delimiters-temp-disabled nil)

(defun quark/temp-disable-rainbow-delimiters (_window _pos)
  (unless quark/rainbow-delimiters-temp-disabled
    ;; (font-lock-flush)
    (font-lock-remove-keywords nil rainbow-delimiters--font-lock-keywords)
    (setq quark/rainbow-delimiters-temp-disabled t)))

(defun quark/temp-enable-rainbow-delimiters ()
  (when quark/rainbow-delimiters-temp-disabled
    (font-lock-flush)
    (font-lock-add-keywords nil rainbow-delimiters--font-lock-keywords 'append)
    (setq quark/rainbow-delimiters-temp-disabled nil)))

(add-hook 'window-scroll-functions #'quark/temp-disable-rainbow-delimiters)
