Hi all,

I was eager to experiment with the new SyntaxHighlightPanel. As long
as I post modest code snippets, all goes fine. But when I posted some
50K XML code, all hell broke loose.

In fact, Chrome was the only browser that parsed it in a few seconds
without issuing any warning. IE7, Firefox, Safari and Opera all
complained about the script taking too long.

Now, while I understand it's a major pain to parse code client-side, I
wonder if there is any sensible workaround for it.

One thing would be to disable syntax highlighting when code size
exceeds a certain threshold, but I can't find any method on the
SyntaxHighlightPanel to do so, nor can I see any SYNTAX_NONE constant
or anything like that.

Otherwise, the code could be lazy-parsed, like a few lines at a time
as the user scrolls through the code. I guess that would imply
rewriting a lot of stuff though.

Any other ideas for a workaround, please?
