   I gathered this much from documentation

    Since it takes some time to move cursor, so braille window keeps
changing, and so does my braille display.
    So when I move cursor from one position to other, braille display
refreshes multiple times, before it reaches
    on the final cursor position. So I was wondering if it is possible to
know when cursor routing has finished, then
    I can block the braille display update until the cursor routing has
finished. This will make the braille display
    refresh only once. Though this is a workaround, but it still will be
better experience, in my opinion.
