There was a recent (a couple of weeks ago) commit that claims to rectify the long lines performance issue, for what it's worth.

That is really interesting. May you take the effort and identify the commit?

EDIT: Nevermind, search to the rescue

Just tried it out. For my personal workflow when working on overlong lines, the performance gain is HUGE! From unusable to actually decent. Not using find-file-literally and even syntax highlighting enabled.
That's great to hear, thanks! I haven't tested it in anger yet, and I'm not going to pretend to understand the display-code changes.
