GUI keyboard repeat rate suffers with many long lines

まず、レポートにある短い行と長い行を繰り返す手順を使い、mvim --clean で MacVim の遅延を再現して、GUI の挙動を記載されているクリーンなターミナル Vim の実行と比較します。GUI のキーボードリピートとカーソル移動の経路を追跡します。完了条件は、報告されたケースでリピート速度がバッファの内容に依存しなくなることです。

Steps to reproduce

1. Open MacVim (mvim --clean)
2. Create a line 80 characters long (80ii<Esc>)
3. Go to beginning of line (0)
4. Hold down 'l' and time how long it takes to get to the end of the line (for me, about 3 seconds)
5. Delete this line (dd)
6. Create a line 700 characters long (700ii<Esc>)
7. Make 90 copies of this line (yy90p)
8. Go to column one, row one (1G0)
9. Hold down l and time how long it takes to get to column 80 (for me, about 6 seconds)

(This affects insert repeat rate as well as cursor motion.)

(Also, I don't think this was a problem before the recent update to 9.0, but I could be wrong.)

Expected behaviour

The repeat rate shouldn't be affected by the data in the buffer.
