Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In buffers where many many lines are invisible, enabling linum-mode
would take a long time and C-g won't be able to stop it.

More specifically, I use magit to manage a small git repo, its status
buffer at the moment has 11850 lines (buffer size 366524) with only <
100 lines visible. Running linum-mode on it would freeze emacs for a few
minutes on a intel core duo 2.0G machine. It looks like linum has wasted
a lot of time on invisible lines. Is that necessary?

Although I'm aware that I can work around it by setting
line-number-display-limit but my feeling is linum is doing something
inefficiently.

GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46) of
 2009-05-23 on 200.sub-75-216-116.myvzw.com

Thanks.

Leo

This bug report is pretty, and I cannot reproduce it on a recent build
of Emacs:

- open a magit status buffer with large uncommitted changes (234000
  lines)
- Evaluate `linum-mode'

The result is instantaneous with Emacs built from master today, on a 2nd
Gen Intel i5 (i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz).

I'm closing this ticket, and while I can't reproduce the issue, feel
free to reopen this ticket if you can.

Cheers,
Nico
