Continued thread

I've been working on optimizing Terminal performance, it used to REALLY lag out on long text printing across lines or scrolling.

Not now! It's too fast to measure! Tho I lost the pulsing cursor, but even if I put that back it'll still be drawing at native speed.

I don't want to write a buffer to make it slow down to some terminal speed, but I kinda ought to. Or add a PAUSE command so you can make fake slowdown.

Also maybe text aligned better on non-Safari?
