Separation of concerns... the IncrementalTextLayout class is
complicated enough for me to work on, without the additional state
involved in maintaining a caret. I also envisioned moving a caret
from one layout to another (i.e., when switching keyboard focus)...
I'm not sure if this is actually possible or useful though (in my GUI
code I attach a caret to each layout and show/hide them as required,
and redispatch events).

Assuming you're using IncrementalTextLayout, that's as fast as it's
going to get. I think some fairly significant work would be required
to improve on that, which in my mind is not worth it at this stage.
Let me know if you have specific ideas or patches to improve things.

Looks like you're working off an old version; SVN head doesn't have
this problem.
