(There is still some possible weirdness with the way we do current
targets, it should probably be done in a different way at some point.)
reasonable amount (currently width * height * 8 bytes), discard all
output to the terminal and start trying to redraw periodically
instead. Continue with this until the amount of data we are trying to
write falls to a low level again.
This helps to prevent tmux sitting on a huge buffer of data when there
are processes with fast output running inside tmux but the outside
terminal is slow.
A new client_discarded format holds the amount of data that has been
discarded due to this mechanism.
The three variables (when to start this, when to stop, and how often to
redraw) are basically "works for me" at the moment, this is going in to
see how it goes and if it causes problems for anyone else.
with of the terminal scrolls, tmux needs to redraw the entire pane. This
results in a large amount of output data which can cause slow terminals
to struggle, particularly when many lines are scrolled together quickly.
This can be reduced by only redrawing when tmux doesn't hold any
buffered data for the terminal. If a redraw is required and data is
buffered, the redraw is deferred until all that data is consumed (it is
checked after every event loop, a timer is used to ensure this happens
at some point). While a redraw is pending, no additional data will be
written to the terminal.
The redraw still happens, now it is just pushed back if it is possible
it would just add more data on top of a terminal that is already
behind. This both gives the terminal a chance to catch up, and allows
tmux to process more scrolling (that would require additional redraws)
in the meantime.
Helps with a problem reported by Greg Hurrell.
