    text is like the slowest thing to draw :P when debugging games, a running log can make the 3D rendering stutter significantly.

      See the minecraft f3 menu for a notorious example

        no, that’s just minecraft being badly made. I’m talking logs running in a separate window.

          But thats different, the issue there isn’t the text drawing, its that it isn’t meaningfully asynchronous and console drawing is typically blocking (at least on windows)

            that’s true, but the impact would still be lessened by faster rendering. and as someone who spends all day in the terminal anyway, i do see the benefits often.
