1. If the slowdown cases are truly rare, I don't think they will bother
users very often.

2. I think we should be able to anticipate which changes _might_ cause
noticeable slowdowns.  They will be changes that will come into play
frequently in basic activities such as cursor motion, basic editing
operations, or redisplay.  We may not anticipate 100%, but let's start
trying.
