[OpenLayers-Users] Flickering while updating overlay

[Adrian Popa]

Hi,

I'm also interested in stopping the flickering - or keeping the old 
markers until the new ones have been loaded.
Also, I would like this for my Mapserver layers - the images dissapear 
as soon as panning stops and reappear when reloaded. It would be nice to 
keep what image is still relevant and replace it when the new image is 
ready. By the way, I'm using singleTile=true in my mapserver layer.

Regards,
Adrian
