Can you please elaborate as to how you arrived to these numbers? I
fail to follow your line of reasoning; perhaps it's too early and I
don't yet have enough caffeine in my blood. E.g., how do you deduce
from "seven hundred something" that there were more than 10 redisplays
per second?

If your Emacs is configured with --enable-checking='yes,glyphs', then
you can invoke "M-x trace-redisplay RET", and see every entry to
redisplay_internal announced on stderr.
