Please attach a profiler and figure out where the CPU time is spent. This does 
not sound good at all. But without help from your side that tells us where the 
CPU cycles are spent there is nothing we can do.

Both should be a per-session setting, if that's not the case then we should 
change it.

The difference between the two is, well - what the labels say ;-) One will 
decide whether to feed all files in a project to the background parser after 
the project was opened. The other will disable the background parser 
completely and thus you'll never get any fancy language integration at all.
