Hmm... I thought your complaint about the cost of
`select-active-regions` was due to the cost being too high in step
2 (which would indicate that the code does not behave quite like the
design I described, and would thus be a simple bug we should fix).

Are you saying that when you said:

    - `select-active-regions`: as mentioned, it slows down rectangle
      selection massively ...

you were talking about the slowdown imposed in step 4 rather than in
step 2?
