I beg the Org developers to please be very careful when introducing
expensive display features such as overlays into Org. Org already
puts the Emacs display engine to its limits in many of its popular
features; adding overlays to this mess might be too much.
I don't know enough about Org to understand why overlays are being
considered instead of text properties, but feel free to describe the
issues (preferably on emacs-devel) and start a discussion about the
possible alternatives.
