repaint is a method for telling the screen that it should update an area to reflect changed data. Thats something you want to happen soon after the data has changed. However, many tiny changes in the data can ofcourse still be reflected by a single repaint, so repaints are coalesced with the repaint method. This is called the repaint pattern. So if you call repaint() eight times within a very short timeframe the area is only repainted once. Which is good, as many repaints will take a lot of time and cause lagg, which is not acceptable in normal GUIs.

The above code will ask java to call repaint some time later instead of now, preventing recent repaints to be coalesced since they havent been registered soon enough. This is silly and completly unecessary.
