Not sure if more cache should be the answer here, but in the profile I 
see the hack-dir-local-variables call.

So first, it should do nothing unless enable-remote-dir-locals is set to 
t (right?), so my first guess would be Ergus has customized that var. 
Maybe try turning it off, does that lose some features that you use?

Second, I suppose Tramp could do some caching for the result of 
hack-dir-local--get-variables (just time-based), but I'm not sure how 
much it will help, on average. Only every 100th redisplay causing a 
stutter would still be a problem.
