Relative line numbers require a full redraw of the window when you
scroll, because every line's number changes.  Emacs will actually
redraw only the numbers themselves, and maybe also some general window
decorations.

Not sure why that happens to you during scrolling without line
numbers, it doesn't seem to happen to me.  Do you see that in
"emacs -Q"?
