Large files often take a long time to fontify, so there's an upper
limit on size.  Customize `font-lock-maximum-size'.  If you work with
files that large a lot, you may want to look into the various packages
that cache fontification information or partially fontify buffers such
as lazy-lock and lazy-shot.
