Definitely there's a problem.
The problem is the spell checker is O(n*n) on the number of characters
in the undefined identifier.
That's an algorithm that can't scale then.
Checking the Levenshtein distance for each known identifier within a
small difference in length would be a better idea. (Clang is said to
use the Levenshtein distance, it probably does something of the sort.)
