Emacs tends to redraw instead of scrolling whenever it thinks you have a fast
connection to your terminal.

Some times the unix system has wrong information about the actual speed
of the connection. The unix system here constantly thinks the speed
is 34000 bps! Needles to say that under that lie, emacs behaves like a moron.

You just have to execute the command 'stty 2400' or whatever
(before you enter emacs), and emacs will get to its sences again.

Then, you might be interested to have a look at the variables:
	[i]search-slow-...
