I've been playing around with buttons (...) in epoch (3.2.2), which seem
handy not only for adding different fonts & things to text, but also provide
a way to remember character-pos -> data-object mappings.

However I find that a large number of buttons (2/line in a 65 line screen)
makes redisplay really sluggish, even in other screens (e.g., non-self-insert
commands in the minibuffer have a noticeable delay).  Even attribute 0
(invisible) buttons have this effect.

Is the only solution ``don't use lots of buttons'' or are there tricks I can
use to make things faster?

Thanks,

-Miles
