That's what I'm talking about. I didn't explain myself clearly. I'm
talking about the redrawing around the download dialog of the web page
below it. But this was just an example. My impression is that NetSurf
often spends time redrawing a workarea rectangle (or a specific
portion of the webpage) that doesn't need to be redrawn at all, or has
already been drawn.

I'll definitely try to pinpoint a specific example. That would
certainly be more helpful.
