You're right, I'm sometimes seeing this blinking/flickering as well.
Usually restarting the application helps. This however is not that kind
of flickering it is really just a jerky/slow animation.

This kind of animation (high contrast, slow moving, large size) is very
prone to look jerky. So probably the fps is still too slow - at least
some times. The question is how to improve it?

Thanks for your input!
