An excerpt:
"One simple approach to implementing redisplay is to just redraw all the
frames, windows, and buffers from scratch. This approach might be good enough
for a shitty 2016 video game like Nuclide or Eclipse, but not Emacs.
Emacs was designed for much more constrained systems. Men were men, women were
women, and bandwidth was expensive. Consequently, Emacs tries very hard to
optimize redisplay."
Since today bandwidth is not expensive, does this mean Emacs could
move avay from the current redisplay to a simpler method which just
redraws everything when required?
