Since the Virtual Console code changed, the VCs stop responding if there is a lot of output to one of them.
Simple test, run
main() { for (;;) printf("Hello moon!\r"); } in one VC and try to use the other ones -- they are extremely slow or doesn't respond at all.
No problem running something like this in 2.0.30 or the earlier 2.1.x kernels.
I'm not much for fancy graphics so I do all my work in the VCs but this slowdown is starting to get to me. Even compiling the kernel, which results in some scrolling slows down the other VCs.
P133, 80x50, 2.1.36.
I'll be happy to hear comments.
