Whether or not it's representative doesn't really matter: the
performance you see with nlinum is a real problem when you bump into it.

Duh, I had tried it, but indeed skipped the "watch the numbers closely"
part. My naive L2R background makes me think "this looks like
a rendering bug" (especially since if I insert "123" in that tutorial,
it is displayed "123" rather than "321" despite the surrounding R2L
chars, so I wonder how come the digits in the margin end up ordered
"321").
