IIRC, we never saw a profiler report showing that it slowed down buffer
fontification in a visible way.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Really, it has been removed because of a problem when ps-print'ing an
Org buffer -- though the bug was to find in `ps-def.el' and not in Org,
as reported by Stefan Monnier [1].  It should have been fixed there
instead.

I'm planning to reintroduce it as an optional feature.  At least in my
personal Git repository, if that's not accepted in Org core.

Best regards,
