Imagine you're using a terminal based text editor full-screen with say 364 columns and 77 rows. You've got it nicely split into three vertical windows for code, with a tree display a fort window on the left-hand side. One of these three code windows is split horizontally and is tailing a log file, and you're quickly paging through code on another.

This is a lot of terminal I/O, and you want this scrolling to be fast, smooth, and to not flash or blink awkwardly.

I do this because I'm running my editor on a remote machine over SSH, which has a ton of cores, memory, and fast disk. Just firing up the LSP server on this giant monorepo causes the fans on my laptop to spin like crazy and takes forever to initialize. Blazing fast on this remote host.
