Normal redisplay is restarted whenever it is interrupted by user
input. For example, pressing and holding the down-arrow key will be
"randomly jumpy" -- depending on the speed of the computer vs. the key
"repeat rate" of the keyboard.
The only way to get "more fluent" display updates is by setting
redisplay-dont-pause. I also used to set it when I had a slower
computer --- these days, it usually manages to keep up with my
typing, so it doesn't really matter.
That's exactly the info I was looking for - thank you. I think that should
be said in the doc, so people can know what this variable is all about.
I did not understand that "redisplay is restarted whenever it is interrupted
by user input." I thought that user input _inhibited_ redisplay (but that a
redisplay would eventually occur).
