Slow performance when holding down enter
Platform Only tested on Linux, other platforms could be affected as well. Terminal software Most noticable on (or only affects?) VTE-based terminal emulators.
Press and hold down the enter key for a couple of seconds and once lifted you'll notice how Reedline keeps rendering new lines for a relatively long period of time. The regression got introduced in #675 and more precisely after adding the is_reset() check to each repaint in src/painting/painter.rs.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a VTE-based terminal emulator (like kgx)
- Press and hold down the enter key.
- Notice the delay until the screen stops updating after letting go of the key.
Screenshots/Screencaptures
On the left you can see how it looks like after getting rid of the is_reset() call. To better illustrate the bug, I shook the cursor once letting go of the enter key. Even though the screencap is on an older version of Reedline, the bug is still reproducible on newer versions.

Seen it before. Experienced it. Don't like the current behavior at all. Would like to see a PR to fix it without introducing more resize artifacts.
