It used to be the case (and probably still is, given your experience
above) that linum-mode is expensive: if you can live without it, you'd be
much better off.

emacs tries to make it possible to go places without having to know line
numbers (e.g M-x compile will print out error messages with line numbers
but all you have to do is C-x ` to find the next error message *and* get
to the source code that caused it). That's generally a better way to go.

It's not always possible to do without line numbers (although you can
come pretty close), so there is a mode to print out the current line
number in the mode line which is not nearly as expensive:
line-number-mode. I have that on all the time and I do not notice any
performance impact.
