I do not like, for example, that inserting a quotation mark somewhere
into a Lisp buffer, with some delay repaints the entire rest of the
buffer just to undo that when I insert the closing quotation mark.
Since recently, that shouldn't happen anymore unless you wait a relatively long time. That time is configurable. Search for "antiblink". I added the feature and am interested in knowing if it's not performing as it should.
Alternatively, you can also try a parenthesis pairing solution such as electric-pair-mode.
