tag 512544 + patch
thanks
The problem is that ncurses decides to select() on its own, and sets a default
delay value of 1000 miliseconds for it, which is one full second.
This can be modified, and I default it to 100msec now, which makes such
problems bearable for the UI (0.1 sec is not perceived as slow) and should
still work across slow internet links. The user can pass now a -e 1000
argument to set it back to the 1s default if they experience issues due to
e.g. a slow link, or usage on a really slow serial link e.g.
I've not patched the manpage though ;)
Regards.
