25.0.95; forward-comment backwards takes O(n^2) |
Date: |

1. Use the attached file as an example, open it in emacs in ruby-mode
2. Move point to end of buffer and eval (forward-comment (- (point)))
The last step takes about 0.25 seconds on my MacBook 3 GHz Intel Core
i7. If you double the lines of comments, the time increase by 4 folds.
Any idea why forward-comment backwards is so slow?

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug. If this is still an issue, please reopen the
bug report.
