Performance

gollark: <@205756960249741312> Just thought of this: how does CLI mode handle teletext characters?
gollark: Our idea was to run a bunch of CC computers headlessly and allow accessing them from ingame as well as the interweb. Basically "the cloud", but for CC. I have no idea what it could be used for but it would be cool.
gollark: It's probably possible to handle the xterm-or-whatever-it-actually-is escape sequences in CC well enough to render okay.
gollark: That's useful, thanks. There are probably ways to convert the VT100 sequences into other useful stuff.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
