If the terminal is trying to update its display faster than the frame rate of your monitor, it's just wasting CPU cycles. A sensible terminal would rate-limit its updates and prevent the process from consuming all the CPU. If your terminal can't draw a screen of text at 60fps on a semi-modern computer, it has a very inefficient renderer.
