That's what you should get; each "redisplay_internal 0" line is an
entry to redisplay.

Really? Is that in "emacs -Q"? I get only 20 entries to redisplay,
every 0.5 sec, one each for every toggle of the blinking cursor, and
after those it stops.
I can only understand a much more frequent redisplay if you have a lot
of timers, or a high-frequency timer. When a timer fires, we call
redisplay, AFAIR.

I'm guessing that your LaTeX compilation is via "M-x compile" or a
similar async subprocess. If so, whether or not redisplay is called
depends on the speed the compilation process emits stuff that Emacs
reads. If the subprocess outputs a lot of stuff, it will have the
same effect as high-speed keyboard input -- in both cases Emacs will
not enter redisplay until it's idle.

Displaying an echo area message triggers redisplay.

If there's no redisplay, you won't see the cursor blink.
