Does the problem happen for you when you run Emacs locally on that
machine?  Or does it only happen in this particular configuration,
when you use Exceed to access a Solaris server from a Windows machine?

Comparisons with gvim are meaningless, because there's no primitive
"highlight this text" operation that both Emacs and gvim use.  Each
one of them highlights text using very different methods.  In Emacs,
the portion of the text that is highlighted is actually fully
redisplayed.
