    Timer method was chosen intentionally in order to introduce some short
    delay.

Doesn't this cause the buffer to be redisplayed wrong first,
before the timer updates it?

If that problem does not happen, I guess the timer method is ok.
But how can it be that that problem fails to happen?

      As long as the cache contents is modified continuously the
    timer is repetitively canceled and reset before the previous one
    expires.

I see that this optimization would be important.  Is it sufficient
simply to check for pending input at the end of each command,
before the post-processing?
