You can try following the recent change in Company for asynchronous
backends, where we do redisplay soon after the user typed, briefly
showing "outdated" completions with the new input. And then updating it
as soon as the new result is computed.
icomplete's implementation is this approach should be a lot easier to
do, too. This seems to work okay:
diff --git a/lisp/icomplete.el b/lisp/icomplete.el

I would also suggest lowering the default of icomplete-compute-delay to
0.1 or even 0.05.
With 300ms delay, the new behavior does look a little weird.
And the whole constant updating thing is about
"flickering" anyway.
Experience shows the above is a lot less jarring then hiding all
completions ("blinking" with the empty background) and then showing them
again.
