[Bug 1393596] [NEW] Extreme slow syntax highlighting for Windows Registry Files

[dronus]

Public bug reported:

If exported Windows Registry Information is opened in vim, an very
simple, but apropriate syntax highlighting is enabled.

However, on any longer block of ASCII hex representation (and usual
Registry data has a lot of that trash) the text rendering gets extremely
slow, hugging CPU and make scrolling almost impossible.

The simple scheme of marking keys and there values should not need such
complex parsing.
