The patch I submitted delayed updates of - invisible - items, that is
those that are offscreen while the update takes place. The lists gets
repainted as soon as scrolling is done.

I don't know of any side effects, and I'm updating medium sized lists
(about 600 entries) quite frequently (about 8 items a second) in the
visible and invisible part alike. All visible items get updated as soon as
the changes takes place, all invisible items are just not shown (as one
might expect :-)). They are updated by the way, but the roundtrip causing
the list to refresh the screen is omitted if, and only if, invisible items
are effected solely. (This is the theory, and it works for me ...)
I don't know the app you mention (ml, a mail reader?), so I don't know if
there are any side effects in this circumstances. (And I still have to
check the new release, since I am not able to use the cvs versions due to
firewall restrictions. I just started the download and will begin checking
on monday)
best regards
