Doing this results in a blank frame.  #if 0 around the block that calls
left_overwritten and right_overwritten does not solve the performance
problems completely (redisplay can still not keep up with scrolling,
whereas Emacs 22 can on the same PC), and without that code, the display
becomes garbaged, so I don't think it is worth pursuing this workaround.
