How to disable word wrapping in plain text files in Chrome

I need Chrome to display plain text files with long lines that should not be wrapped. But when Chrome displays a plain text file (text/plain) it wraps the lines around. How can I induce it to exhibit Firefox-like behavior (no wrapping, show scrollbars instead)?

I have tried to wrap the text into a element and it works but takes astonishing amount of time to load, even for relatively short text.
