None that I know of.  Theoretically, Emacs is slightly less responsive
to user input, because it doesn't stop redisplay when input is
available, but instead first finished the redisplay cycle completely.
But that's theory; in practice, the user experience is that Emacs is
perhaps even _more_ responsive, especially if the user command
involves significant redisplay, like scrolling.
