hi jeff,

i agree. somewhere down the line, i will probably stick to this method.

but my problem is i use inferno and acme in inferno a lot. to the extent i
tested so far, drawterm, 9vx are all so slow in updating inferno screen (i
think it becomes a matter of screen area updates all the time instead of any
optimized updates like in case of, say, a rio text window). since i use
inferno a lot in plan9 and since the lag is very noticeable, i am just
trying to find out a way.

btw, is there any opportunity for optimization in draw operations that will
help? or it is already optimized? is it possible to lower the no of bits per
pixel in inferno and will it lead to any gain in performance?

thanks
dharani
