I think it would help a bit.  But the main problem is that
applications redraw too much.  Partially because many are not
written to reduce redrawing, partially because X provides little
help to suppress unnecessary Expose events.  bit_gravity was a
nice idea, but the implementation is too simple exacept for flat
window hierarchies (only parent and one level of children).
