I think you can speed this up with the code below (I'd expect a speed up
of about a factor 2 since (line-end-position 1) does about the same as
(forward-line 1)):

    (catch 'break
      (while
          (unless (eobp)
            (or (> (+ (point) global-longlines-threshold)
                      (progn (forward-line 1) (point)))
                (throw 'break t)))))

Hmm... there seems to be a discrepancy between the identifier and the
code: it seems unrelated to line-number(s).  Maybe some left-over from
a previous version of the code?
