It seems you have to choose between slow startup or slow(er) scrolling.
Is there any way to combine the fontification methods.  Ideally it would
startup using on-demand fontification, then fontify the rest of the
buffer during idle time, and store it in the font info in the
font-lock-chache file (also during idle time ideally).

Alternatively, is there a way to specify font-lock for files < x lines
and lazy-lock for larger files?

Then you must not read news with emacs, that's what really grinds it to
a halt for me.
