Yeah.
I tried reproducing the problem reported here, and I got nothing.
But I evaluated a number of digits, and one of them took a couple of
seconds to display. (This is with X over ssh over wifi.) So I'm able
to reproduce the problem, and the slower the X connection is, the more
severe it probably is.
Unless somebody else thinks this is really useful functionality, I think
we should probably just ditch it.
