That's basically how it works, but it doesn't explain the slowness on
fned buffers: the initial highlight of an fned buffer involves exactly
one _zsh_highlight call, and yet is slow.
Cheers,

P.S. There are two workarounds for the slowness: invoke <edit-command-line>
within fned, or set the undocumented $ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MAXLENGTH parameter.
