* add a timeout value (SELECT_TIMEOUT) of 20ms in the select() call * wait at least 20ms (DRAW_TIMEOUT) between draw() calls * only copy dirty lines from the buffer to the screen what draw() does: * clears dirty lines in the buffer * draws the longest same-attributes string of each dirty line to the buffer with multiple xdraws() call * copies the current dirty line from buffer to the screen with a single xcopy() call this changeset makes st run ~10x faster. |

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual terminal emulator for X which sucks less.
Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running st
----------
If you don't install st, define TNAME to "xterm" in config.h or make sure to at
least compile st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -s st.info
It should print the path of the compiled terminfo entry. You can
safely remove it if you don't plan to use st anymore.
See the man page for additional details.
