I've been rewriting this in C.  Preliminary tests running it from torsmo are very smooth, no blinking at all, even downloading every call (no caching yet).   It forks a child and downloads the time in that, so it might be possible to make it so that citytime just carries on reading from cached times while a sluggish download is in progress, thus removing any additional interruption to the display caused by a download.   I also tried doing this in perl, but forking in perl by itself slowed things down.

Still more work to do, but an interesting little project.
