Slow animations/updates

[tom-wegener]

Hey,

I have small application running on some servers which is designed to be accessed directly via a screen connected via vga to the server.
The problem is that the vga-driver is not optimal and we get memory-spikes if we write to much to the console.
So my question is, is there a way to limit the amount of screen I update per second (or other amount of time) to slow down the update and reduce memory spikes?

The app is atm in v1 but an update to v2 should be doable.

Thank you for the nice library, i had great fun writing the application.

As a matter of fact, yes! In v2 the renderer has been optimized for minimal redrawing and the data transferred between the application and the terminal emulator has decreased by orders of magnitude. All you need to do is upgrade, which is typically pretty easy, especially for small applications.

Thank you very much, the update helps reducing the noise. We still have some peaks but no noise from the tool.
