IIUC, longlines-mode helps a LOT since it inserts _actual_ newlines in
the buffer at intervals and these newlines are removed when you save the
file.  The last time I read, so-long mode only disables expensive
minor-modes to speed up Emacs.

IIRC, there was discussion surrounding de-obsoleting longlines-mode
sometime.  But I might be dreaming that up.
