Hmm... so providing input doesn't actually "wake it up": sometimes,
I introduced bugs which caused Emacs to redisplay just before the next
command rather than right after a command, which made it look like
Emacs was terribly slow, even tho it was just that the screen update
was happening at the wrong time.
But It looks like your situation is not one of those.
