If the suggestion is to remove the code, I want to see some
measurements first.  It might be better to add some variable which
would disable that, set it ON by default, and then see if someone
complains in a year or two.  The latter alternative is fine by me.

You guys all live behind very fast links, so forgive me if I don't
share your optimism.  For me, the situation where I make typing
mistakes because Emacs cannot display what I type fast enough is very
much real.  Of course, I have no idea whether flushing does anything
to that.
