Sorry for my ignorance, (and partly offtopic question) but why would you
want to show the completion list many times?  Isn't that very slow when
moving around files?

This feels very inefficient.  Wouldn't it be faster just having the
completion candidates open, then narrowing?  I have always found the
default emacs completion system very arcane, but I might be missing
something.
