what is your minimum refresh rate needed for coding?

Scrolling would be painful on e-ink

Also programmers tend to type pretty fast after getting some experience. It's disconcerting enough when code completion slows down the editor, not sure i could stand a screen that can only refresh every full line.

This is why vim has multi-character movements.

The problem here doesn't seem that different from coding over a slow network, something that's been possible for quite a while.

Coding over a slow network is the sole reason I know to use vi :)

But i'd rather not do it daily.

When I'm coding I'd usually do pgup/pgdn, don't think this would be a huge issue.
