The result of inserting large chunks of text into a buffer that's
displayed will be a continuously scrolling window, whereas if we do
that in smaller chunks, the text will be static for long enough to
allow at least some of it being read (at least with the default
scrolling behavior). I think the latter is less annoying, at least in
some use cases (think the likes of "M-x compile" and "M-x grep").

If we want to do that, we should bump the alloca threshold in
SAFE_ALLOCA higher, it is currently set at 16KB.
