For me maybe also not much less than that. For the first few chars, I
usuallly type fast enough, and I appreciate this CPU saving measure.

150ms down from 300ms maybe a good compromise to cut down on the
xx/xx transient inconsistency and still have the CPU saving thing.

Even better, as I suggested, is to make that proposed change be
conditional on the delay.  Then people wanting no flicker just reduce
the delay, which is quite intuitive.
