The mistake seems to have been doing too much work at the higher
levels of Tcl. Changing readMonitor to loop until it runs out of
data and folding the STATUS data into one, space separated, line
instead of many lines seems to have made a great difference.
We still take a big hit in shuffling lines around for the connection
queue but I can't see a way round that. If we don't do it we lose
control of the scrollbar.
