That could be too drastic: Emacs becomes painfully slow long after the
number of characters exceeds 80 or 130 or 250 or any other reasonable
line width. So setting truncate-lines would hide too much from the
view.
Also, setting truncate-lines does not make Emacs fast in all cases,
when very long lines are involved.
