Sure.  Between deciding to make more windows in a frame, or switching to
eww in a different window or frame, or the emacs frame changing size due
to things happening with the window manager or tmux, there are plenty of

again, or re-rendering it.  It certainly becomes more painful with a
slower network connection.
