3) Make changes to the code so it uses the new PostDirtyRect() rather 
than subverting an existing function. This is what we have done in 
pcbnew, and I think the same function would work in eeschema if you can 
calculate a proper bounding box.

So really, there are 3 options, and I would think that if the third 
technique is fast enough for pcbnew, then it would be more than fast 
enough for eeschema, since those drawing routines are lighter weight.

That is my opinion, I prefer 3).
