This is TCP, all you get is a stream. There is no guarantee that bytes
will be clustered in any way in packets. However: 1. the application
should delay a little after the ESC in case it's the start of a cursor
string, this is what vi does, and 2. have you disabled the Nagle
algorithm or something like that?
