I didn't yet read the rest of the bug report, but AFAIK we already have
a way to set a selection to a pair of positions in a buffer. Requestors
get the contents of the buffer between those two positions, but no
string is consed until a program actually asks for the contents of the
selection.
We could have a new value of `select-active-regions' that tells Emacs to
set the primary selections to buffer positions if the active region is
not temporary, thereby avoiding the unreasonably high amount of string
consing.
The only problem is that this feature is only implemented on X and
Haiku, and not consing a string every time the selection is set is
impossible outside X.
