What do you mean by continual screen writes?  As in a communications program
where the screen is constantly scrolling when receiving data?  This is what
I am trying to find out too.  I am writing a line at at time rather than one
character at a time, which when scrolling the client window it still uses
100% of the CPU time according to Memsize.

However, its extremely fast when I get a clear screen before a page of data,
faster than ZOC, which looks like it writes one character at a time. :-)
