So, the slowdown may be related to displaying multiple faces?  I have
not experienced anything like this, myself.  If you do M-x
list-faces-display and scroll through that buffer, is there a slowdown?

It's possible that tabbar is doing something with its face computation
that is much more expensive on Emacs 23 than on Emacs 22; I don't have
time to look at its code, however.
