very slow fontification with multiline strings

[unhammer]

After checking out newest git 56d67ee of haskell-mode, I do

$ make
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wrengr/bytestring-trie/e149ccfb1124feb11aba04f3e2b1e5a557220e4c/src/Data/Trie/ArrayMapped/SparseArray.hs
$ emacs -Q -L . --eval "(progn (require 'haskell-mode) (find-file \"SparseArray.hs\") (eldoc-mode -1) (goto-line 248) (profiler-start 'cpu))"   SparseArray.hs

ie. open line 248 of a "big" (just 2331 lines) file, and edit the string to be a multiline one:

be patient – I'm typing a second " when it seems like the video has stopped ;)

I see slowdowns all over the place whenever I have \'s out of balance (sometimes it seems fontification gets into a bad state too with these and I have to reopen the file, though that may be a separate issue?)
