It would be great to get rid of extra redraws. There are a few things that 
need to be considered:

    1) On faster systems it might be nice to have a quick "wrong" initial 
redraw and then a later correct redraw. But if there's a slow X connection 
we might not want that.
    2) Some of the redraws could simply be due to bugs.
    3) In some cases, we may just need to wait to do some I/O until we do 
the first redraw. This could speed things up even on faster systems.

Some patch contributions in this area would be appreciated if anyone is 
able to tackle these issues. I'd be happy to help someone looking into it.
