Hi folks,

I followed the thread regarding this issue recently and would just like
some clarification:

SC_BAD_FLICKER was an option that one used to disable in the hopes of
saving a few CPU cycles.

SC_ALT_SEQACCESS is an option that one can enable in the hopes of saving
a few CPU cycles.

If this is the case, we want something like the following patch to LINT,
no?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
