Yes, but when thrashing causes delays of dozens of seconds, the result
is not just a rare delay, the result is simply unacceptable.

We want every basic operation in such buffers to perform reasonably
well. That's the goal of this activity. Because partial solutions
that sometimes work we already have: there's so-long-mode, there's
longlines.el, and a couple of other trick up our sleeve.
