Yes, it should be possible. In fact, I thought that it did this already.

More or less: the user has the option ("Auto Update" in preferences) to
turn it off.

But, yes, it should absolutely be possible, and it shouldn't be all that
difficult to do. Keep around a list of cells that have changed since the
last update. Mark them as "normal" and then mark the newly changed cells
(and save in the changed cell list).
Of course, all this assumes that our table widget can change cell text
color. I know for certain it can change a background color, but I'm not
so sure about font color.
Anyway, if it can change the text color for a cell, change the font
color to ::Colors(change).
