IMHO the RBCodeHighlighting package is completely overdone, flickery and
extremely slow (currently). I recommend loading the old 7.3. parcel. It
still works fine. The colors are updated after each "accept" only, though.
I don't need the colors while writing code. I simply need them for
reading existing code, i.e. quickly separate comments from code and
understand the code's structure at a glance - that's all.
Perhaps somebody could have a look at the old parcel and see if it
really caused any problems with 7.4. I'd really like to keep that simple
coloring with the distribution, which doesn't have any impact on
performance, doesn't flicker, etc.
