This sucks. This loop was designed to be very efficient,
but it it really complex and I don't know if it is really needed.
I mean, we did test of performance like:
dd -bs=1 count=1G < /dev/urandom > /dev/tty
but I think it is not the common usage of a terminal. I think
we should do not care about if st has a good performance in this
case because you usually will use a page at once.
My proposal is to simplify the loop even if st becomes a bit
slower. What do you think guys?
Regards,
