We've had similar issues in gnumeric and have taken a two prong
approach.

1) Morten has been plucking some of the low hanging performance
   fruit and has sent some patches to Owen for consideration.

2) I added some motion compression to Gnumeric so that groups of
   page up/down requests get clumped.  This decreases the amount of
   redraw and the burden on pango.
