Being the fearless trimmer AND guesser that I am let me jump in here.

What's probably going on is your syntax script for HTML/Mason has some
look-aheads and/or look-behinds that make it just too busy to paint
while you're scrolling. To verify try

:syntax off

and see if it persists. This is especially likely in view of your
statement that it happens only with this type of file.
