...I use TinyUrl.el which scans line for any urls when Emacs goes idle
for 2 seconds. If I know there is url in current buffer, I just let cursor
sit on the line for a while and start clicking the buttons. Buffer
length is not important with this approach and the minor mode uses
Mouse-2 as "paste/launch url" depending if the line is buttonised 
or not.

I have turned off all other package based URL handlings 
(TM/SEMI/VM/Gnus) to speed up reading.
