Well, I don't understand what the "but" refers to :).

If you mean mouse highlighting with DELAYED_MOUSE_EVENT, that's
essentially what I talked about previously.

For handling other events likewise---as I said, I haven't analyzed
that.  For example, seeing exposures mentioned, I don't know if it
would be acceptable to not redraw anything while Emacs is busy.  Maybe
it is, maybe it isn't.

Someone will have to analyze all the consequences of a new
implementation for all kinds of events.
