The selection for big tables should be considerably faster than before 
(that was also confirmed by Vorarlberg in a recent user meeting), 
because only the selection delta is communicated. It also works fairly 
fast on small tables here, so I am not sure where the latency you 
experience is coming from.
If you assume that a repaint is the issue, have you tried if the 
multithreading branch makes a difference? It is well possible, that this 
solves the issue, because the UI stays responsive, even when a new 
rendering job is scheduled.

This seems to be a windows issue (see ticket referenced by Andreas). I 
think it should be possible to overwrite the stylesheet for this 
environment. The ticket has been reopened.

Context-menu "zoom to feature" would be great.
