Indeed, expanding very long texts still degrades the performance of IDLE. But the user has to explicitly expand the text (by double-clicking the button) and can easily squeeze the text again.
As for your suggestion to show just the first several lines and a "more..." button, that would be a significantly more complex solution. It is already easy to preview the squeezed text, either by launching an external viewer or by copying the text to the clipboard.
Yes, a user could still get large amount of text in the shell by expanding large squeezed text. In other words, a user can still shoot himself in the foot; but now he'd have to purposefully aim the shotgun at his foot first.
