+in your .vimrc.  Used this way, the g:tex_fast variable causes the syntax
+highlighting script to avoid defining any regions and associated
+synchronization.  The result will be much faster syntax highlighting; the
+price: you will no longer have as much highlighting or any syntax-based
+folding, and you will be missing syntax-based error checking.
+
+You may decide that some syntax is acceptable; you may use the following table
+selectively to enable just some syntax highlighting: >
+
+    b : allow bold and italic syntax
+    c : allow texComment syntax
+    m : allow texMatcher syntax (ie. {...} and [...])
+    M : allow texMath syntax
+    p : allow parts, chapter, section, etc syntax
+    r : allow texRefZone syntax (nocite, bibliography, label, pageref, eqref)
+    s : allow superscript/subscript regions
+    S : allow texStyle syntax
+    v : allow verbatim syntax
+    V : allow texNewEnv and texNewCmd syntax

+As an example, let g:tex_fast= "M" will allow math-associated highlighting
+but suppress all the other region-based syntax highlighting.
