Speech is not always as slow as we think. My girlfriend for example use 
really hight speech rates.

if i type for example "ls" i want to (have to) look for all these lines 
to find the needed information.
In a MUD game for example you always have to cursor around to see if new 
chat messages or game situations are present.
in practice mostly there is no flood if information except to the 
package manager XD. but in this case (if something went wrong) i also 
would be able to cursor around to find the needed lines.

I m not deep in this, but a look into the code looks really "handmade" 
but would not put my hands on fire for this.
