Because, if the paragraph consists of mostly R2L text, displaying it
from the left margin would not be TRT, it looks ugly.
Left-to-right paragraphs _are_ the default in modes where we know in
advance that we will be displaying predominantly L2R text, such as in
any mode that inherits from prog-mode. But in modes that display
human-written text paragraph direction is determined dynamically as
part of redisplay, and that can be very expensive when you are near
the end of a large buffer that is a single paragraph.

Then I don't see how can I fix this specific case. The bidi display
must know the paragraph direction in order to DTRT. Ideas are
welcome. Doing something simple, like force left-to-right paragraph
direction if paragraph start isn't found in N lines, doesn't sound
right, as this will cause different display depending on how far we
are from the text beginning. Hmmm...
