Because unless I misunderstood the code entirely, the current buffer has nothing to do with the operation at hand.

It's easy to reproduce the original problem: run Emacs in a terminal and make a buffer with many markers. See how the text displays slower with more markers. I've attached a short example; try (make-test-buffer 1000).

The attached patch fixes this problem.
