Good idea! =8^)  That would test whether it's the display or not, altho 
of course pan is still doing the logical threading in the background, 
since it does that only once.

Hmm, this is interesting, too.  I have enough screen real estate 
(now 2x 24" 1920x1200 LCDs, stacked for 1920x2400, pan getting all but 
the bottom 24 px of the bottom LCD in normal config, so 1920x1176) that I 
display all three panes at once, not the tabbed interface, but for those 
with the tabbed interface...

Along the same lines, what about switching to another virtual desktop or 
shading/minimizing pan?  That way there's no pan display updates at all 
to be done.  I know it makes a difference with music visualization and 
konsole output if I'm compiling, but (since the rewrite) pan has been 
fast enough here I've not worried about it.
