AFAIK that is the feature, which helps preventing overload of CPU and thus affecting realtime performance. I think it is better to have some lines not painted as You want rather than get ruined part. Does Your code consist of small linear moves? If yes, then I am sure that this kind of code can be optimized. For example, create a code from half-circles, each just a little smaller than previous and so that You start on the outside and gradually get to the center or each next is little larger, if You need to start in center and add Z increment - tool will go down the specified distance along Z, while the arc is executed and thus You would get spiral movement downward.
