I thought that might be it, but my recent hacking on autocrop led me
to believe that polygons would only be "plowed" when necessary, and the
SBC PCB is slow to zoom and pan.  Faster as you get closer in, so maybe
it's proportional to how much is visible.

In Eagle the polygons are re-cleared only when you request a ratsnest.
