is exactly what you want.  However, you can prevent preemption by
binding @code{redisplay-dont-pause} to a non-@code{nil} value.

@tindex redisplay-preemption-period
@defvar redisplay-preemption-period
This variable controls how often Emacs checks for new input during
redisplay.  The default setting is to check for input every 0.1
seconds after redisplay has started.  If input arrives, redisplay
stops, and all available input is processed before redisplay starts over.
  If this variable is set to @code{nil}, redisplay--once started--is never
preempted by input.

@emph{Note} that this variable is only available if Emacs is built
with support for sub-second timers.

@tindex redisplay-preemption-period
@defvar redisplay-preemption-period
This variable specifies how many seconds Emacs waits between checks
for new input during redisplay.  (The default is 0.1 seconds.)  If
input has arrived when Emacs checks, it pre-empts redisplay and
processes the available input before trying again to redisplay.

If this variable is @code{nil}, Emacs does not check for input during
redisplay, and redisplay cannot be preempted by input.

@emph{Note} that this variable is only available if Emacs is built
with support for sub-second timers.
