The regular expression used for number highlighting in GeSHi is highly
recursive, and easily overflows the low PCRE recursion limit on WMF
sites (and, on sites where the recursion limit isn't low, it can easily
crash PHP).
Fortunately, it's easy to fix for the common case.
This is also reported upstream at

Currently, the SyntaxHighlight GeSHi extension includes geshi/geshi.php.
This creates a conflict when an up to date GeSHI library exists in PHP included path.
This change let the SyntaxHighlight GeSHi include our bundled version instead.

Using ContentGetParserOutput instead of ShowRawCssJs allows highliting to be applied
for other kinds of scripts as well (e.g. Lua). It also allows more special case code
for CSS and JS to be phased out.
NOTE: this requires Ibfb2cbef to be merged in core!

(...modules of unusual size.)
Enabling full syntax highlighting for very long Lua modules can produce DOMs
that have hundreds of thousands of elements and cause browsers to lock up.
I took a count of spans by class (which amounts to a count of tokens by type)
of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module:languages and came up with:
sy0: 62545 (symbols)
br0: 61952 (brackets)
st0: 39291 (strings)
kw3: 7746 (keywords)
kw1: 3
kw2: 2
co2: 2
co1: 2
nu0: 1

Total: 171544
GeSHi allows you to disable highlighting for a particular token type (see
<http://qbnz.com/highlighter/geshi-doc.html#disabling-lexics>) which like a
good way of handling this issue.
Disabling symbols (set_symbols_highlighting(false)) removes both sy0 and br0
elements from the DOM (about 124k elements in the case of Module:languages),
with about 47k elements remaining on the page. This is enough to make Chromium
responsive on my laptop (2.3ghz i5, 8 GB RAM), but it's still noticeably
sluggish. Adding 'set_string_highlighting(false);' removes another 40k elements
from the rendered output, and the resulting DOM is quite zippy at 8k elements.
Proposed solution: disable symbols highlighting when >100 kB; disable strings
highlighting too when >200 kB.

The Geshi rendered output has a font-size of 10px where we would expect
13px just like for <pre>.
Bug 33496 against MediaWiki core dealt with that issue already: in some
(all?) browser 'monospace' has a size of 13px where as the default is
16px. When defining a font-size of 0.8em the monospace is scaled down to
10 px which is too small. By appending another font statement, the
browser treat monospace as a default font and thus scale it starting
with 16px instead of 13px.
This patch append a style to geshi which set the font-family to
"monospace, monospace" thus tricking the browser in considering
monospace a regular font.

This can happen if the TitleIsCssOrJsPage hook causes a page without a
.css or .js extension to be considered a CSS/JS page.

Remove usage of mw-code-inline:
* That class ended up not being merged into core, so it does nothing.
Only mw-code (for the <pre> wrap) is needed.
7c9b2273c9cbdae90c9f4e3890a13619f769c5d0 (mediawiki/core) had both
in an earlier patch version, but only mw-code was merged.
Follows-up:
* mediawiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi:
dc147a5ef1
Use .mw-code and .mw-code-inline
* mediawiki/core
7c9b2273c9cbdae90c9f4e3890a13619f769c5d0
Add .mw-code styles in core
