Hi, I recently figured out why my terminal would regularly freeze for a split-second. The culprit seems to be some kind of leak in the code for calling external programs in the statusline. If I have a call to an external program there and start a new tmux server, everything runs smoothly. But over the course of one-two weeks tmux starts introducing short pauses every time the statusline updates, which is quite annoying especially when scrolling. These pauses seem to be unrelated to the duration of the execution of the program, even a simple #(date) triggers it. Removing the call from the statusline of a running tmux also removes the pauses, but putting the command back restores the pauses. The problem seems to be server-wide, new sessions have the same pauses. Only starting a new server with the -L option gets rid of them. But since I usually have a lot of sessions with important state running all the time this isn't really feasible to do regularly.
Note that I'm using a status-interval of 1.
