Yeah.

I tried reproducing the problem reported here, and I got nothing.

But I evaluated a number of digits, and one of them took a couple of
seconds to display.  (This is with X over ssh over wifi.)  So I'm able
to reproduce the problem, and the slower the X connection is, the more
severe it probably is.

Unless somebody else thinks this is really useful functionality, I think
we should probably just ditch it.
