Subject: Re: Any idea about what makes Emacs slow reading on pipes?
Date: Sun, 18 May 2003 15:03:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E19HTRc-00080r-00@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5xznllw0wp.fsf@kfs2.cua.dk> (storm@cua.dk)

    That is because emacs is using a pty by default for process i/o (I
    guess that is to avoid buffering output from the writer, so emacs will
    get a more steady flow of input to process, e.g. for compiler output),

I am not sure any more what the context is, but the usual reason for
using a pty is so that process groups and associated signals work.
