The updating is about as immediate with my synchronous signal handler as it is with the current async signal handler, because it can take place any time QUIT is used, which means "also in the middle of elisp code". Please forgive my confusion. I've been running with synchronous signal handlers since I mentioned it on this list and I'm pretty happy with it. I think it would be good for more people to try it.
