OK, I can see this. Turning off the menu doesn't actually make it go
away, it just makes the redraw more efficient, so you need more frames
open to see the effect.
What appears to be happening is that scrolling with the mouse, and
also using C-v or M-v causes every frame to update the cursor and
clear the internal border, which in turn causes them all to be drawn
to the screen at once, which is pretty slow.
(It also appears to do something with scrollbars which helped me find a
subtle redrawing bug.)
Scrolling through the buffer by using C-n to move down line by line
only updates the frame being displayed. I'm not sure what's going on,
it appears to be system independent code doing this.
