I'm not sure your description is quite right... the problem is the statement
buffer_view_->updateMetrics(false);
which you added in revision 14456. It repaints the whole screen every time
redraw is
called -- which happens even when only a row or para repaint ought to be done
(elsewhere the updateMetrics call takes the singlepar argument).
Can this patch be somehow reverted? I.e., store state in
buffer_view_->needsRedraw etc.
I expect Bennett will see a spectacular speedup then...
It might very well be my fault indeed. We changed the metrics subsystem
quite a lot and, IIRC, this change was needed at that time to avoid a
crash because of incomplete coordcache. Now that the situation is
stabilized WRT the coordcache I think it make sense to re-enable the
single row/par repaint.
I look forward to a patch from you ;-)
