Flickering was perhaps the wrong word. But let me explain a bit more. 

Several thousand mail in evolution is fast to scroll 
galeon/mozilla can open LARGE pages and scroll that without a problem
Nautilus can keep up if I scroll slow but resort to an update rate like
2-3 per second when I scroll fast and I have a feeling only parts of the
windows gets updated . This is something you notice.

you can test this yourself. when you move the scrollbar it get behind   
when you move the mouse fast but in other programs is follows the mouse
without to much lag.
