pd_lua paint(g) function is called every frame, even if there is nothing new to draw #1868

I have a pdlua gui script that does nothing, but has a paint(g) function that increments a counter each time it is called. In pd, its refreshed only when resizing the window or calling repaint() function. In plugdata it is refreshed every frame, leading to a giant overload if I use many of those scripts.
