400MHz AMD K6, 386M mem.  Scrolling at 100% zoom there's a slight delay
after moving the mouse.  At 50% zoom, there's several seconds delay.  I
believe this is the same as 0.91, caused by the non-cached rendering with
Pango.  It's not going to be better in 0.92, but it's really high on the
list for 0.93.
