Find changed lines

I would like to write a plugin which sets the background color depending on the indentation level. I set the color through signs, but the problem I ran into is detecting when and where an indentation level has changed. If I do something like au TextChange,CursorChange I don't know which lines might have been affected and would need to go through the whole buffer which is too slow. Is there a better way?
