Gah!  And I'm usually chided for using old-fashioned double spaces in
prose. :)

Even finding the the end of the line twice was faster than the regexp
method, subjectively.  On my problematic 40k line, it did not take
noticable time, whereas the regexp caused a bit of a delay even on
shorter events.  But I agree, let's not make emacs do more work than
necessary.  Updated patch attached.
