Interesting - I think wider columns produce exactly the opposite outcome. Too much space to cover and width to contemplate, hampering my ability to edit quickly. I don't think the width extra width helps you ingest and manipulate the words more efficiently. The horizontally-condensed version of the same text allows me to see all of those same words, by the way. Just laid out in a format that isn't quite so exhausting to handle. I even narrowed the HN editor while writing this reply and editing it for mistakes/grammar.
