Confirmed.  The speed is quite remarkable, BTW.

We could think about a slot in the window structure which would control
line number display for a particular window (including the tooltip and
minibuffer windows).  We'd need three values: Something like 'always'
for displaying them unconditionally, nil for respecting the window
buffer's local value and 'never' for never displaying line numbers in
that window.
