It is probably due to too many funcalls to `redraw-frame' in many elisp functions. The flash caused by `redraw-frame' under my environment occurs when e.g. switching b/w buffers, running find-file, doing recenter without arg, moving mouse cursor over an emacs frame, etc. Because of this, my eyes get tired quickly when working on emacs. To prevent the "flash", I made the following change to dispnew.c, and emacs has gotten much, much better: < if (!glyphs_initialized_initially_p) > if (1) Does anyone feel the same way? Could we please make emacs less flashy on X so users feel less stress to eyes?
