Hi. Windows Console PM, and @zadjii's whipping boy here :) LOL :) Nice idea - though it turns out that this won't help. Don't ask me why we know this ;) We DO

Hi. Windows Console PM, and @zadjii's whipping boy here :) LOL :) Nice idea - though it turns out that this won't help. Don't ask me why we know this ;) We DO, however, (as @zadjii indicates above) have plans afoot to considerably improve Console's text rendering. Also note that scrolling speed is actually not a good measure of rendering perf! Why? Because at most, scrolling should max-out at around one vertical page every 1/60 of a second. Any more than that and the text tears. This may or may not be an issue for some, but tearing the text upsets people who're visually looking for a particular text layout-pattern which might get discarded if the Console scrolls faster than one page per refresh. This said, yes, we're gonna get faster with less CPU ;)
