Quick partial updates are possible thanks to the new Epson/EInk screen controller. It can control several regions of the screen at once (AFAIK previous controllers could update either the whole screen or one rectangular region). It also uses a dedicated screen buffer, so the CPU doesn't have to send the complete bitmap every time it needs to update or scroll a part.
