syntax-ppss cache is a list of checkpoints spread along the buffer. After a modification, only the checkpoints below it are invalidated (to be recomputed on-demand later).So a suitably-concocted replace command will still invalidate a lot of that cache, right?
For any cache, one can invent an operation that would result in thrashing it repeatedly.
A regular search-replace should work well enough, though. Because when the buffer is long, the user is likely, on average, to spend a lot more time examining the occurrences and deciding whether to replace each one. And since the operation goes from top to bottom, this will likely invalidate the list of caches once, and then rebuild it from the beginning (or from wherever the first replacement was).
