Do you expect redisplay performance to improve or is it your aim that it
does not degrade ?

I did a quick test using highlight-regexp which indicate that it makes
no or not much of a difference.  But I guess there is room for some
optimization left.

BTW how do you figure out which functions need attention,
performance-wise.  Is there any experience using valgrind/callgrind,
because I tried it and the results seem bogus to me, but I may be
mistaken.
