I've experienced this too.  It tends to be most pronounced when there
are a lot of different extents visible (as in a dired frame or a Gnus
*Topics*/*Summary* buffer).

The symptom I see is that every visible frame appears to be redrawn
with each keystroke.  The faster the machine, the more difficult it is 
to see what is happening.
