Disabling linum-mode for speed when the global linum-mode is active

Question

I have linum-modeenabled globally in my Emacs configuration. Inclusion all over the world means that it also applies to the high-speed panel, which is undesirable.

The only thing I found for this problem was on the archived Emacs help mailing list, which suggested the following speedbar-mode-hook:

(add-hook 'speedbar-mode-hook (lambda () (linum-mode -1)))

Unfortunately, adding this parameter to my configuration does not have the desired effect, and there are still line numbers in the speed line.

Edit: The above add-hookseems to work correctly, at least for Emacs> = 24.3. Leaving the question for reference purposes, as there is no other related to this issue in StackOverflow.

You can use speedbar-before-popup-hookhook to achieve what you want:

(add-hook 'speedbar-before-popup-hook (lambda () (linum-mode -1)))

I am not sure why the general piece of the mode does not work.
