"Expensive" is probably the wrong question. With regard to CPU usage,
cursor movement on a tty will be negligible. However, it may have
visual effects (depending on the terminal in question), and one of the
reasons for using a tty in the first place might be a lack of
bandwidth or high latency. With regard to latency, one wants to avoid
"roundtrips", but those don't occur usually for text terminal control
sequences. With regard to bandwidth, one might want to avoid
excessive cursor positioning, and also too many separate write calls.
