That's strange: I cannot reproduce these problems unless I
artificially slow down redisplay (by adding a few msec of sleep each
time Emacs displays a screen line).  What is the clock speed of your

It could be that problems in HELLO are due to the actual drawing of
characters, which slows down Emacs even more than I did.
