> 4328, exactly the same amount of lines I have in the file. Didn't you say that you have 4000 *k* lines? Anyway, as Scott mentiones, in emacs 24 the linum packages seems to be more clever and only creates overlays for the visible area of a buffer. For example, when opening a file with 1000 lines and enabling linum-mode, I only have 35 overlays, because only 35 lines are visible at a time.
