I do not observe, for what this is worth, either the first or the
second problem on my system (x86_64 installation).
There are 3 apparently-separate problems.
OTOH this is a
default emacs-22.3-10.fc11 and I did not try any experiments with
emacs-23.
Problem 1 is slow re-display using the default rawhide
(emacs-22.3-10.fc11.i586), as reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487757
The bug entry has comments from two others confirming the problem.
Problem 2 is the "Invalid regexp" message. This happens with
emacs-23.0.91 compiled-from-source on 2009-03-05.
Problem 3 trying to build emacs-23.0.92 from source now.
That build never finishes, while trying to compile the .el files.
Did you try to start 'emacs -Q'? Just to see what will
happen.
-Q makes no difference to either problem 1 or problem 2.
I'm making do with /usr/bin/emacs -nw and xterm-mouse-mode.
That allows mouse clicking, but I miss being able to use
my mouse's scroll wheel ...
