Hm, I made a change in latex.el which could negatively impact
fontification performance:

2005-03-09  Ralf Angeli  <[email protected]>

	* tex.el (TeX-comment-prefix): New function.

	* latex.el (LaTeX-current-environment, LaTeX-find-matching-end)
	(LaTeX-find-matching-begin): Rather than using the start or end of
	a commented region as a boundary, look further for other commented
	regions with the same prefix possibly containing an environment
	start or end respectively.
	(LaTeX-mode-menu): An empty help string is useless and may lead to
	an empty tooltip.

Maybe profiling the related LaTeX-* functions besides the font-latex-*
function reveals the culprit?
