If you mean mouse highlighting with DELAYED_MOUSE_EVENT, that's essentially what I talked about previously. For handling other events likewise---as I said, I haven't analyzed that. For example, seeing exposures mentioned, I don't know if it would be acceptable to not redraw anything while Emacs is busy. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Someone will have to analyze all the consequences of a new implementation for all kinds of events.
