RANDR exposes two requests here for a reason. We used to only have
RRGetScreenResources which always pulled data afresh. We added
RRGetScreenResourcesCurrent to get the cached version. If you want
xrandr(1) to use the latter say xrandr --current. Arguably xrandr
should do things the other way around and require you to say --reprobe
or something.

Even then, the kernel should cache if it can. And any competent
hardware has plug interrupts on DP and DVI, so we really should get this
right.
