I see no problems with this recipe on my system. Maybe my machine is
faster than yours.
In general, each redisplay requires removing the mouse-highlight and
then re-applying it, so if Emacs cannot keep up, you might see
annoyingly visible flickering or even such extreme effects as you
describe. There's nothing new here.
May I ask what is the real-life situation where you need to refresh
the display at such high frequency?
