`next-line' is a more complex function -- it tries to land you
approximately at the same place horizontally after moving, while
`forward-line' doesn't.

So I'm wondering whether the macro part of this bug report is relevant
or not.  Try evaling the following two forms in one of these buffers and
report back the difference:

(benchmark-run 100 (next-line))

(benchmark-run 100 (forward-line))
