Yes, thanks. Perhaps add a comment inside modiff_incr explaining why we do it logarithmically.
You mean, something like: "Increase the counter more for a large modification and less for a small modification, but increase it logarithmically to avoid increasing it too much for a large modification."?
BTW, I think the threshold to trigger the long lines check in redisplay_window could be increased a bit. That is, instead of using "MODIFF - UNCHANGED_MODIFIED > 4" I think we could use "> 8". That would exclude a few more common editing operations, e.g. C-k in a buffer with 80 columns. WDYT?
(Hmm... should we say something about this in NEWS? Not that I expect some code out there depend on the exact increments in MOFIFF...)
That would be very surprising, because they are in general unpredictable, and different depending on the context; e.g. MODIFF is incremented when font locking is enabled.
