The result will be that the benchmark will report ~30ms both near BOB
and near EOB. So the long-lines-threshold thingy adds a regression here.
It's not a regression, it's the price we agreed to pay to detect
whether the buffer contains long lines. That detection happens
dynamically, to catch cases when long lines are inserted in a buffer.
After looking at this closely, it turns out that the change in
1c837c42c2 doesn't do what it was meant to do. Sigh... Dmitry, can you
confirm that the following change fixes this?
