Interesting.  Reading the documentation for this variable notes that
having this set to t is most useful for buffers with very long
lines.  As I use visual-line-mode, most of my lines are whole paragraphs
so frequently longer than the 500 characters that the documentation
mentions as "long lines".  So it would seem that I should keep the
default setting of t...  but it may be worthwhile playing around with
this variable.

There are obviously quite a few interacting elements which can affect
the performance of emacs.

Thanks!
