GNU Screen Draw Lag
- by Daeden
I like using screen with multiple splits. I usually like 3 sections
Resource Monitoring using HTop
Text Editor using VIM
Command line using Bash
My issue is that, when I am doing something that writes a good deal of text to STDOUT like running Make and if I am focused on that section, Screen lags on me. So much so, that the other sections no longer update and screen is not responsive to commands like CTRL-A + TAB.
I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, but it appears to have something to do with the cursor location which blinks wildly while this is happening.
I'm aware that using the vertical split functionality of Screen can lead to lag, but is this the cause? If so, is there a way to fix it aside from redirecting STDOUT?
