The functions for displaying temporary buffers when
'temp-buffer-resize-mode' is on.  I do not think that the overhead for
calculating the mode line height is excessive.  It's just that IIUC
even Jonas changes the mode line height only once per window/buffer
assignment so even for him this overhead is practically always lost.

By calculating the mode line before drawing the scroll bars?
