Or if you're multitasking and checking progress only in your peripheral vision, you could slow it to 1000ms or even more. Probably instead of scrolling at the end of the window, which would result in jumps, do a recenter after each forward-line. I can't see concreteley what sort of point movement you have in mind to do when the timer goes off. So I don't understand the idea. But I think that having point move a few times a second would be disastrous for any attempt to do editing.
