And yet... I've been using screen for 20 years and it never seemed inefficient, even when running on a 180MHz Pentium Pro. These days I have to believe whatever it's doing must be pretty minor compared to the overall system performance, but I'd be interested in hearing what it does so inefficiently.

It worked fine in the early nineties on a '386. I can't tell how efficient it is, because I never had reason to worry about it.
