I would also love a flicker-less popup menu. I use the completion
excessively, since I've found it makes coding faster and less error
prone. I noticed the menu only flickers in some cases.

Hello,
I agree, it would be great if the popup-menu could be optimized. One of the
best features of Vim is that is fast enough to keep up with my keystrokes
(many
editors will begin to 'lag' when given commands too rapidly, and I have to
stop
and wait for them). I often have to slacken my pace when it comes to Vim's
popup-menu, because it takes at least .2 seconds to redraw each time I press
CTRL-N.
regards,
Peter

Hi!
As you've probably all noticed the completion menu flickers when you
move through the items rapidly. Why is this? Is it really necessary
to redraw the whole completion menu when it really only should require
redrawing the item previously selected and the item selected now [1]?
Anyway, would this be possible to implement?
Also, here's a set of mappings that make the digits move their value
number of items down the completion list (if displayed):
for digit in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9]
execute 'inoremap silent ' . digit . ' C-R=pumvisible() ? ' .
repeat('\ltC-N', digit) . ' : ' . digit . 'CR'
endfor
(I guess this could be extended to include -n, for 1 = n = 9, which
would move n number of items upward. Any takers?)
It flickers like mad, but at least it goes a lot faster than holding
down CTRL-N or CTRL-P.

[1] Excepting the case where one begins to scroll in the menu, when
all items need to be redrawn, as they move up or down one step - which
leads to a second question, wouldn't it be a lot more economical to
scroll like half a menu or something, so that scrolling wouldn't
require so many redraws? Or at least utilize the terminal codes that
enable scrolling in a buffer to be done with only redrawing the first
or last line when scrolling by a single line in a buffer?
