Posters wait while the selection moves quickly

On a terminal zoomed far out a poster is tens of thousands of cells, and
redrawing it on every step of a held arrow key was more output than the
terminal could draw (about 100 KB per step at 600x180), so the list
lagged. A selection that changes again within 120 ms keeps the poster's
place empty and shows the poster once it rests.
