Well, it's always going to depend on machine power. We don't have to
worry about it until we consider making it default.

Optimisation can come later, at least while it's non-default.

As a bonus, all apps would get that nice Gaim feature where new messages
scroll into view gradually. I find this amazingly useful when not paying
attention to a window, as it gives you ~500ms of movement to notice it,
rather than just a single jump that leaves you a little bit confused as
to what just happened.

Hell, just typing this email now it reminds me, even Microsoft Word
causes stuff to move around smoothly when you hit Enter.
