bug#23457: 24.5; interactive use of next-line and previous-line (holding down C-n or C-p) lag in a buffer with all spaces and newlines

[James McClain]

I had cleartype on, but turning it off does not change the problem at all.
The task manager shows about a 50% load, which is quite high for emacs.
The processor is an intel core m 5y10c.

I also just tested it on Linux Mint 17, 64-bit. Compiling
emacs-25.0.93.tar.xz from source.
This machine has a Intel i7-4930K processor, and the problem still happens.
If you use my recipe and turn on whitespace-mode before you hold C-p,
do all the spaces show?
I would be happen to send you a video, this has worked on every
machine I have tested it on.
