Thank you Geoff.
With the help from Richard, Dar, and Monte I'd pretty much stumbled my way to that answer.
Taking positions and colours from an actual data structure (rather than generating random points) I still get draw times for (10k points) under 20 ticks - feels very fast, but not instantaneous.
I'm taking advantage of one further nice feature of "marked polygons" - instead of a blank line between vertices, you can have any number of blank lines with no discernible impact on performance. So I can build a set of point-lists, one for each colour, and then change the colour of any rectangle independently, by simply blanking out one line and filling another.
This gives me colour changes of 10-20% of the rectangles in 4-5 ticks (i.e. feels immediate), which is what I was hoping for ...
(but beware - the multiple blank lines are NOT preserved within the "points of grc n", so you can't "get" them back again. I keep these point-lists separately, and "set the point of grc n" each time).
