Added following confiuration to practicalli/spacemacs.d configuration

  ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
  ;; Emacs text rendering optimizations
  ;; https://200ok.ch/posts/2020-09-29_comprehensive_guide_on_handling_long_lines_in_emacs.html

  ;; Only render text left to right
  (setq-default bidi-paragraph-direction 'left-to-right)

  ;; Disable Bidirectional Parentheses Algorithm
  (if (version<= "27.1" emacs-version)
      (setq bidi-inhibit-bpa t))

  ;; Files with known long lines
  ;; SPC f l to open files literally to disable most text processing

  ;; So long mode when Emacs thinks a file would affect performance
  (if (version<= "27.1" emacs-version)
      (global-so-long-mode 1))

  ;; End of: Emacs text rendering optimizations
