Ever since somewhere in 19.12, when the new redisplay code came out, i've seen
a major performance degrade whenever more than one frame is visible.  Maybe its
just that i'm always stuck on low end machines like 486, sparc 5 but it is
a real hassle.

I wish i could give all of you a smoking gun handloop but can't.  All i can say
is that if i have 5 or 6 frames up, each with a different file visible,
character input becomes dog slow.  If i then iconify all the frames except for
the one, all is back to normal.  

Am i the only one?
