Right, and I have a similar speed and font size (and no issues), yet users with faster machines experience degraded performance. I'm wondering if they have significantly more characters (read: orders of magnitude more) drawn, which would be a good starting point to trace the problem (unless someone already knows what the problem is). At work I use a 1600x1200 resolution and also have no performance issues, but I also am using Xming or VNC and running it on large expensive machines, so it's not a good comparison. Recently I have discovered that, independent of the value of $TERM, I am unable to use ^C or ^\ to kill tail when following a file. I am required to ^Z, kill %%. However, no other program seems to have this problem. Has anyone else seen this behavior? --Andrew Hills
