In an unoptimized 32-bit build --with-wide-int:

  . Without line numbers: 15.9 sec.
  . With line numbers: 19.7 sec.

The times are quite consistent, with jitter of less than 0.1 sec.

Note that I don't consider this (i.e. scrolling through a buffer that
was already completely font-locked in advance) an important use case
for the redisplay purposes, because with today's JIT font-lock this
almost never happens.
