I have implemented a new version of the Emacs canvas patch. Refreshing avoids redrawing or even checking the entire buffer. Only the single glyph where the canvas is attached as display property is redrawn.

I welcome help with testing or porting to other platforms than Cairo/Pgtk or X. @divyaranjan ported his Pale library to the new version of the canvas API, with good results.

But maybe you're looking for Pale instead?

No I thought it was a separate package rather than built into the emacs main code.

@benleis @minad Yeah so we have a small patch which enables this sort of thing and then we build on top of it.
