If we have that, we can get rid of the projection is kis_image, which is as 
big or bigger as the biggest layer, and which, I feel, is responsible for
quite a few of our display artefacts. Just maintain the QPixmap, which 
consists of the composed layers, and only compose the regions actually 
damaged by Krita activity.

Are you working on this? Otherwise I might take a stab at it.
