I just tried it out, and while it certainly is an improvement, I noticed
that the performance appears to depend on the direction the point moves.
E.g. I generated a long line using

     yes abbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb | head -100000 | tr -d '\n' > long-line

and I could C-v to the end without any issues.  But M-v was
significantly slower.  The same applies to C-f vs. C-b.
