My test case is control-f, which does nothing to the buffer, but the
entire score gets redrawn anyway right now.  On my machine, it takes
about a second for the cursor to move forward.

That's an idea.  I have only tried the CMUCL profile package so far.
I kind of suspect that the profiling itself is messing up the
figures.  In that case the statistical profiles might be better. 

I probably will not do that immediately, though, since I would have to
start by installing a more recent version of SBCL, and then compile
McCLIM for it, etc, etc.
