I don't think it has anything to do with font-lock...

  ╭────
  │ ess-eval-visibly is a variable defined in `ess-custom.el'.
  │ Its value is t
  │ 
  │ Documentation:
  │ Non-nil means ess-eval- commands display commands in the process buffer.
  │ If t, ESS waits after each line of the command for the process
  │ output. This results in a nice sequence of input and output but
  │ stalls emacs on long output (like Sys.sleep(5) in R).
  │ 
  │ If 'nowait, ESS still shows the input commands, but don't wait
  │ for the process. Thus all the output is printed after the input
  │ lines.
  │ 
  │ If nil, ESS doesn't print input commands and doesn't wait for the process.
  │ 
  │ This variable also affect the evaluation of input code in
  │ iESS. The effect is similar to the above. If t then ess waits for
  │ the process output, otherwise not.
