v.to.rast

Hi, I'd like to ask if someone else experienced the following problem. I
digitized polygons and subsequently converted them to a cell map with
v.to.rast. When I use d.rast to display the map, the display process is
extremely slooooow. After performing the r.mapcalc operation r.mapcalc 'a=b'
(just to produce a new map with the same values) the display process is much
faster. Why is this?

Assuming that Stefan didn't change the region parameters in between the
two displays, the only thing I can think of is that the first version
(created by v.to.rast) is uncompressed, while the second (created by
r.mapcalc) is compressed. Note that I didn't check this out...
