This takes 2.8s in Emacs 27 and 0.3s after the change:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert-file-contents "~/src/emacs/trunk/src/ChangeLog.11")
  (benchmark-run 1000
    (line-number-at-pos (point-max))))

So that's nice.  `line-number-at-pos' is used all over Emacs, but
probably not in a loop a lot, so it probably doesn't make much
difference, though.
