Hmm, I don't agree with that. 

For one line of code perhaps, but its useful for nested blocks too. 
There are also cases where you have code collapsed, and are trying to balance the braces, in these cases there's just no sensible limit you can apply. 

Perhaps there should be an option to disable the automatic highlighting, and then a key combo which triggers it manually for those cases when you need it?
