Unfortunately, that is an expensive operation in smart-parens framework. I left some performance suggestion to the highlight-parentheses author, so hopefully they can make it a bit more responsive.
But, on large files, every method is going to be slow, because you have to reparse a lot of the buffer each time.
Check https://github.com/zk-phi/indent-guide which does something similar, but based on indentation so it's very local behaviour. There's also https://github.com/istib/rainbow-blocks and http://github.com/jlr/rainbow-delimiters and packages based on that which can do block-highlighting fairly fast.
I tried all of those packages. indent-guide
has problem with large file as well. rainbow-blocks
is the same as hl-sexp
that highlights a block, but I find it inconvenient because it shadows other highlightings such as highlight-symbol
that automatically highlights symbol at point. rainbow-delimiter
doesn't do the same thing. Only highlight-parentheses
does the thing I want.

Nice. Thanks.
However, check the setting sp-show-enclosing-pair-commands
, you can add commands there after which the enclosing pair is highlighted. By default it shows you the bounds when you slurp/barf.
There's also a function sp-show--pair-enc-function
which you could in theory put on an idle timer (similar to show-smartparens-mode
). But as other modes, it will get quite slow on larger buffers.
It would be great if
smartparens
can highlight pair point is inside, so we know where the pair is without having move point to opening/ending of a pair. highlight-parentheses does this but it is slow on fairly large file.
