I don't think so in this case, given that Apple's own TextEdit is where 
I got the idea.

Hmmm....I don't see a Preference for that, but I'm on an older system 
(10.7).  Maybe this was changed in a more recent version?  Or perhaps 
they use different behavior based on CPU or GPU?

Even so, I share your preference that the default remain as it is today, 
with dynamic recalculation of line wraps.

But given the range of OSes and hardware LC runs on (it supports more OS 
X versions than Apple does, and then all the others as well), as an an 
option it may be helpful on older hardware or when handling very large 
amounts of text.
