On GTK I actually don't see any difference, but on OSX I do. It is an
improvement, and slower machines will probably benefit. Does this
affect any other operations that dragging the mode line?
Yes. Dragging the scroll bar thumb, which is currently implemented
using `track-mouse' on OSX, would behave as if redisplay-dont-pause
were set to `t'. Dragging the thumb updates only a few lines on slow
machines without the patch. I think pausing during redisplay is good
for other kinds of events, but not for mouse movements because they
usually come with a short interval.
