A noticeable difference in the speed of (redisplay), as measured by
benchmark-progn, in the middle of a more complex process.

No, I'm not measuring while idle. Like I said, those redisplays are in
the middle of the "complex" scenario mentioned previously.
Since the code path that calls (redisplay) in Company is only triggered
when talking to an external process (or, more generally, when the
backend does something that allows a timer to run), to test this I
repeatedly exercise completion using an external service, talking to it
via HTTP/JSON.

...so both JSON decoding and GC being among the hot spots are totally
expected.

Let me know if you still need some of the calls expanded this way.
