64-bitman created an issue (vim/vim#20429)

There is noticable lag when scrolling down or up a file. Especially when my laptop is unplugged (running on battery). Using Vim built with #20324 is much smoother, and consumes roughly 6W of power less, which is a lot.

This is the current GTK4 GUI:

This is #20324:

Both were tested using same optimized build flags and on battery (same power profile)

I won't open #20324 again, but I will try working on a different PR that is hopefully a bit simpler.
