[bug]: make install is terribly slow to type when building wine

[lilydjwg]

Describe the bug

The wine project has generated a 239294-line Makefile. When I try to type make install, the install part never appears and zsh is stuck with about 50% CPU. Ctrl-C can't interrupt it.

Steps to reproduce

1. get the source of wine
2. run ./configure & make
3. try to type make install

Expected behavior

Well, I know that file is pretty big! But at least I should be able to interrupt fast-syntax-highlighting and continue with it.

same issue, it takes forever for big makefiles or makefile based build systems

Could some sort of timeout be implemented so that if higlighting takes longer than x ms it is discarded? This would force highlights to either be fast or discarded. Id much rather have worse highlights than an unresponsive shell.
