How to stop flickering?

[Gala'Vi and Liss @ Mainframe Country]

Are you sure you are using double buffering with VTK? If you don't double
buffer, it will flicker. Debug versions may be smaller than release
versions and eat up less memory, thus making single buffering work as well
as double. When there is less RAM available, the difference would become
more obvious.
