With this option, the horribly slow redrawings of a moved window are gone, but it is still very slugish; opening (any) new window takes forever, then a grey rectangle appears for a moment, then finaly the content appears. Overall, vesa is much more usable than nv with this. (Thanks for the hint anyway.) I'll juts get rid of this.
