This serie of patches try fix the problem of the timeout in main loop, which
causes st wakeup each 20 ms even thare is noting to do.
Please send comments and suggestion.
Best regards.

The main loop waits until there is some data to read in file descriptors of
the X server or the pseudo tty. But it uses a timeout in select(), which
causes that st awake each 20 ms, even it doesn't have something to do. This

In retrospect, the
The timeout problem was introduced to speed up the rendering when a
lot of text is printed.
The logic is basically to not redraw on every read when the throughput is
high:
I tried do the same thing putting the draw at the end of the loop, so if you
have a high throughput you will read more
Maybe a way to improve my patches is testing is some data can be read from
the file descriptors and in this case continue the loop. something like:
if(i++ 4) {
struct timeval tv = {0};
FD_ZERO(rfd);
FD_SET(cmdfd, rfd);
