Altought  the performance of nautilus in this operations has improved a
lot, i think that currenly it is quite slow at redrawing, slower than
nautilus 1, when dragging a window around the desktop i can see white
areas being redrawed, while in nautilus 1 this didn't happend, selecting
items in the icon view with the "rubber band" is also quite slow. 

But I think that this is not a nautilus problem but a canvas one, I
whish I had time and knowledge to help with this.
