Due to my own nature, I am trying various terminals and their speeds. I was totally surprised to see Hyper TE being sometimes way faster than, say, even Alacritty. While the numbers tell me it's way faster, the visual actually tells me that it looks.... the opposite of amazingly fluent. I was actually looking around and found out that Hyper is not doing flow control, but instead, if the inprocessed stdout input buffer is not catching up the speed, it's simply discarding the data. That is a very dangerous solution as you might skip very important VT sequences.
How could I have missed that #6529. Duplicate. Well, I hope it'll get fixed soon. :)
