Comment(by bert):

 To reproduce the problem, run a fresh instance of Etoys (or if it resumes
 a project, go back to the Etoys home screen where the red car zips
 around). Grab the script window by its green title bar and drag it around.
 Notice the slowdown.

 (optional) To measure the slowdown, you can display the framerate: click
 the Supplies icon in the tool bar, drag out an Object Catalog, click "Just
 for Fun", drag out a FrameRate display. While dragging the script window,
 it slows down to about 7 fps (on an XO-1.5).

 To test the fix, press alt-comma to bring up Etoys' source menu, click
 "help...", click "update code from server". It should load 5 updates.

 Now drag the scriptor again. There should be only a minimal slowdown while
 dragging (> 20 fps).
