Drawterm is quite slow at reading and writing pixels on the screen. I learned this when I started recording screen in Plan 9 (https://github.com/9d0/screencast <https://github.com/9d0/screencast>). Instead of porting drawterm to different platforms I would like to see vncs improved to support the latest version of the Remote Framebuffer Protocol (RFC 6143). This would allow a standard VNC client to connect to a Plan 9 terminal, support screen resizing, local mouse cursor, and deliver all key strokes and mouse chords accurately. VNC is optimized to work over a large variety of different networks including high latency links and it will therefore offer a better user experience than drawterm, especially over wireless.
