FWIW, I've been annoyed in the past by sluggish response caused by
fontification upon display; not recently though, i'm not sure if
that's because of stealth fontification or not. I'm not referring to
"total paging time" or any such thing, btw, just a sort feeling of
"lag" upon entering a new screen (often when I've used i-search to
skip way ahead in a big file).
I don't have a good feel for the tradeoffs though. I think the
problem is for most people one of perception more than anything else
-- yeah the laptop case is an exception to this.
