So I wanted to write that this has a disadvantage as well, that the pager disrupts the regular 'timeline', 'append-only' visual flow of a regular shell workflow. But then I tried your patches, and for short outputs (such as 'perf stat -h') the pager is not activated, while for longer output (such as 'perf report -h') it's activated.
