I have noticed that output of :messages appears instantly, unlike the
sliding output of :reg, :ls, :cl, etc. etc. I'm puzzled because
:messages seems to be using the same 'more' pager so why this difference?

I don't see this, gvim 8.1.0438 Huge version with GTK2 GUI, on
Kubuntu 18.04. :ls on 116 buffers and a vertically maximized gvim is
imperceptible. (If I maximize horizontally as well, I get an annoying
status line flash ⅓ and ⅔ up, but it's quick.)
Now that I've recorded a video I see it's also quite quick (less than a
second) but when I'm in the middle of a work it feels very different.

So, what OS, DE, and vim version?
Arch, i3, gvim 8.1. Attached full --version output.

Also attached screen recording of how it works for me (gvim -u NONE -U
NONE). Near the end of the video when I :cl twice you can clearly see
that the more prompt is sliding up with several distinct steps. I'm sure
it's an animation done on purpose, not screen redraw issues because
other operations such as resizing windows (I did ^w-_ and ^w-r at the
end of the video) are instant (and because terminal :cl is equally
instant even if made fullscreen).

Any thoughts?
