Don't destroy the layer before creating a new one. Create a new layer, and destroy the old one when the new one is loaded (i.e. in a loadend event handler of the new layer). An even smarter way would be to not use a Markers layer, but a Vector layer with HTTP protocol, Text format and a Fixed strategy. Then you can just load the new text file, and there will be no flicker.
