(21/211) 2971 - Bracket matching performance on large files

WINXP Pro, Jedit 4.3pre11 using Java 1.6.0_03

For large JavaScript files (~2000+ lines), there is a noticeable pause when typing a "(" character, or indeed moving over the "(" character

This is instant at the end of the file, but takes progressively longer, the closer to the start of the file you are (as I guess more code is parsed to find a match).

As a workaround at the moment, I type the closing bracket first, and this doesn't subjectively seem to have the same performance hit.

Sorry I can't load an example - company confidentiality etc.
