Redisplay is done as follows: compute a new glyph matrix (which is
basically an internal representation of what the display should look
like), and when that matrix is computed the content is drawn on screen.
I.e. drawing does not start until the glyph matrix is fully computed.

The drawing itself is relatively quick, IIUC.
