interactive application

With the attached patch one can greatly improve the responsiveness of the
terminal. It can be useful for interactive applications like MC.
Tested on Intel and nVidia cards, without any noticeable overhead.

I suspect that you don't need to make changes as drastic as these, which
will hurt performance when receiving a lot of text, plus increase general
CPU usage (an issue for laptop users). However, changing the
kSlowTimerIntervalSec to 1/30.0 might be useful to do for interactive
applications. I don't believe that going below 1/30.0 has any perceivable
benefit, though I'm open to evidence to the contrary.

Okey, you were right... Changing to 1/30.0 resulted in the same experience.
Now I satisfied with the result. :)
Thanks.
