I also noted that metrics is called twice for every keystroke. Surely one of

Sounds reasonable? Please test. Is it faster, or is it my imagination?
Here is a better patch, taking care of rowpainter too. metrics is still
called twice, but now (generally) only for the current paragraph, not
the whole screen. Ought to be faster.
I saw no side effects.
The patch seems to have no ill effects. It seems to improve things
on my linux pc, but:
My pathological 125k test paragraph is a paint to edit, with or without
the patch. I haven't tested at the end, because attempts to scroll
there is no fun either. Of course nobody should write such paragraphs . . .
My 45k test text with lots of small paragrahps have ok performance
either way. Still, I hope performance patches like this goes in. Many
machines are weaker the one I tested on.
