Description

Hyperterm crawls to a stop if you're grepping (or ag-ing) for something and it matches a bundle.js or bundle.js.map or other files which have very long lines. Perhaps there could be something done to stop this. E.g. measure length of lines and only show the first 2000 characters or something.

Research direction
Start by examining the terminal rendering logic in Hyper's source code, likely under the `src/` directory. Look for where line content is processed and consider applying a character limit to prevent rendering extremely long lines. Check if there are any existing performance optimizations or related issues. Review the issue comments for any additional context from maintainers.
