I'd guess that a cache that stores (START . END) could help, where
"START is a position that starts a paragraph and that paragraph ends no
sooner than END".

This way when working within a very long paragraph, you only need to
look for a paragraph boundary between END and point and if there isn't
any, you can go straight to START without searching for it.
