Namely, in #264, if I initiated an action that would take some non-trivial amount of real-time, such as a partial redraw of the screen at 1200 baud, and I then hit another key that caused another screen update, the first update would soon stop and the latter screen update would be performed. In the new version, it seems that the first update is completed before the second one is started. When using emacs-rnews, this often doubles or triples the real-time required to move through a number of non-interesting articles. Is anyone from Unipress familiar with this behavior? I'm not happy.
