I'm almost certain that the slowdown is caused by the previous  
recursive regular expressions in the latex syntax. Are you using the  
language syntax included with 1.1b12 or did you check out a recent  
version from svn?

The fundamental difference probably is that TM has a declarative  
format which allow the user to define how languages should be parsed  
-- this though is still incomplete. If only I needed to parse one  
language, my task would have been a lot easier, but TM would also  
have been a lot less flexible ;)
