I have a program that simulates things and in order for it to stay
accurate it needs to run at a very high frame/recalculation rate.  At
the moment it is recalculating everything at over 300 times per second.

In each of these recalculations it redraws everything and so it looks
very flickery.  If I add in a vsync then the updates are too slow and
the program goes mad.  Is there another function that I could use so
that I'll only redraw the screen when it needs to but will also keep the
re-calculation rate high?
