IMO you have an insufficiently conspicuous cursor. I use gvim with

set guicursor=a:blinkwait200-blinkon200-blinkoff200

in my .gvimrc for a 5 Hz blink.*

*I know I'm in the minority liking a blink, but I think I save at least half a second every time I'm looking for the cursor.

For vim in a terminal emulator, over the years I've resorted to various (sometimes desperate) hacks to speed up the blink. For example, I'm presently using KDE plasma 5.2 and there's no configuration for the blink rate yet in Qt 5, except to compile a C++ fragment to a .so and preload it with LD_PRELOAD.
