In my scenario the observable window configuration doesn't change 
between redisplays (though, of course, "current buffer" is switched 
multiple times under the covers, to send request and parse/receive 
response), and the values of point (again, during redisplay), are only 1 
character position apart.

So if there is some caching of the toolbar contents, I don't see why it 
wouldn't work. I'm also not sure how rendering it can take 10-15 extra 
milliseconds, but for all I know this could be normal.

That toolbar being enabled has a somewhat unexpected effect on redisplay 
performance.
