There were two elements to the change.  One was preventing the slow
function (c-back-over-member-initializers) from being called from
anything but C++ Mode, since it is relevant only to C++.

But before that, I fixed that actual function.  It's problem was that it
was doing a lot of, in effect:

    (and (c-at-toplevel-p)
         (stuff-appears-to-be-a-member-initializer-list))

.  c-at-toplevel-p is a ruinously expensive function, and it was being
called continually.  So, in effect, I reversed the order of these two
things, so that only in the rare case where we have a member initializer
list, do we then check for being at the top level.

I think I was having a bad coding day when I originally wrote that
function.
