While mail reading and composing responses in a tty based mail reader (mutt/emacs -nw), I'm seeing display glitches every 3-5 minutes. Each time it's quite minor so it's the sort of thing which is definitely "blink at the wrong time and you'll miss it".
Being a battery lifetime freak, I'll definitely take the tradeoff, but given that it occurs even when I'm plugged into AC mains, I could see some users being annoyed by it, and I could see them wanting to be able to switch off the feature when they are on AC, if we find a complete fix.
