bug#2212: 23.0.90; excessive redisplay

I'm currently using remote-desktop from one PC to another PC, over
public broadband, where emacs is running on a Solaris box displaying on
the other PC under Exceed.  As such, it's pretty obvious when there is a
lot of redrawing going on because it causes noticeable flickering.

I'm seeing a lot of frame redisplay happening with the pretest.  I have
Emacs open with a separate minibuffer frame, several other frames open,
and when I do M-x I see all frames flickering (sometimes for ages)
including the minibuffer.  At a minimum, typing M-x causes 3 or 4
redisplays of each frame before the "M-x" prompt appears in the
minibuffer.

Is there an easy/quick way for me to track down what is provoking this?

I can't reproduce this in Emacs 25, it's all very slick, but I'm running
it locally. Can you recall if the problem only occurred when running
Emacs remotely?

Since there hasn't been any response for almost a month now, I'm going
to go ahead and close this.
