Hi Thomas,

Currently, we're not concerned about optimization, just about tracking
down a display glitch. The tricky part of this glitch is that if we
record&replay Emacs's output, the "replay" does not suffer from the
same glitch.
So apparently the terminal emulator behaves differently in the "live"
case than in the "replay" case for some reason. We tried to replay at
different speeds to see if it was related to timing, but to no avail.
To me, the next logical explanation is that the terminal emulator's
behavior is influenced y the relative timing of *input* and output.
For that reasons, your ncurses explanation is very interesting, yet
I can't imagine how it can be directly related since our "record&replay"
is done "after" ncurses, directly in the stream between Emacs's process
and the terminal emulator.
Do you have some other insight that could explain why the terminal
emulator would react differently in the "live" case than in the
"replay" case?
Stefan
