I guess this happens to be the reason for everybody else (excluding 
Petr) as well.

Yes. Making life easier was the motivation for me to work on the 
performance. For frequently used cases like moving a node this way 
highly successful. I know the patch currently sits with Dirk as there 
are cases when it produces repaint artifacts, but than can be fixed. The 
want for a cleaner architecture was driven by this very piece of work.
