It might be interesting to optimize to minimize the time the user needs to stare an inactive screen, i.e. make sure there always is something flowing. That may involve throttling the output from a buffer if that is the only buffer with any output, the foreground thing hasn't made any output yet, and expected to stay silent for a while, etc. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
