Not sure, I was only able to reproduce the issue when using linum-relative.el,
as that made the linum updates slower, and I've since upgraded my machine.

Looking at the source of nlinum.el, though, it doesn't delay the updates like
linum.el does, so updates to the line numbering is unlikely to lag. Instead, it
just makes the entire Emacs instance lag.


P.S. I hope nlinum.el in its current state does not replace linum.el -- neither
global-nlinum-mode nor nlinum-relative seem to exist for this just yet.
