Yes, I suffer from that too, especially as I mostly have the x11() windows pop up on a machine different from the one doing the calculation (the latter being a headless server).
If you look at help(x11), you see that there are (at least) three device types. At one point I made 'nbcairo' (non-buffered cairo) the default and it seemed to help. The real culprit, though, is the R device model. And a real alternative is offered eg by Simon's 'xplots extremes' using OpenGL acceleration, see http://rforge.net/Acinonyx/ He gave absolutely stunning live presentations using this. May be a good alternative for 'large' data.
