;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to
-;; spot, try changing its colour or relying on `blink-cursor-mode' The
-;; hookery involved here might slow Emacs noticeably on a slow
+;; spot, try changing its colour, relying on `blink-cursor-mode' or
+;; both. The hookery used might affect response noticeably on a slow
;; machine.
;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window. Hooks are
;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again
;; across the window width.
+;; You could make variable `hl-line-mode' buffer-local to avoid
+;; highlighting specific buffers.
