This is probably requires a complete rewrite of your demo screen, but what
if you used a horizontal interleaving to reduce the size of the flashing
pieces? Think interlacing, turned on it's side. Instead of drawing a standard
48-pixel display twice.
Frame 1: P0 P0 P0 P1 P1 P1
Frame 2: P0 P0 P0 P1 P1 P1
The flicker might be less noticable.
