Thanks. It's looking significantly better now indeed.

The underlying problem in terms of faces management remains: a lot of  
copying and checking (of the global list) when a new frame is  
created, and a global list of faces that gets longer and longer over  
time. It still takes too much time, in particular since people are  
used to a zippy Emacs...
