I don't know if every one of those output lines is rendered on screen
once. But it doesn't need to, since I can't read it anyways, no matetr
if it takes 1, 3 or the 28 seconds takes here.

What's more important is that everything is in the scrollback, which
always seems to be the case, even in rxvt.

(Although I consider this bad style. If you really need 10k lines and
want to look at them, that's what less is for.)

So I don't see the problem with rxvt's way of things. Why not do it?

> #define FONT "-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"

Using my shandard 12 doesn't change the behavior.
It's not the font size, since width is ok, it's just the height is
slightly less than in rxvt and I think dwm status bar, too.
