Now I remember, I did see less of the problem after I upgraded memory
(and did remove some of my old stuff)

But you can try with another kis_notify_limit like 10
(then it will be updated at at least 100 Hz - about what your monitor does)

[make it global - then you can play around with different values in the 
debugger]

How does your system look like?
* CPU				
* Memory
* Videoboard (and X server)
* Painting device

Mine is: Pentium3 933MHz, 512MB, MX 440SE (Nvidia / XFree depending on),
 Wacom Intous 2 (hmm. it has more pressure levels than most so I guess I might
 be getting bigger patterns)
