Yeah exactly. That's meant to make a laggy remote session feel a little less stuttery, which in many cases improves the experience.

It's not the same as doing that between 2 local layers.

well, i have had local sessions hang because they had to much output, so i kind of see the benefit locally too.
One terminal emulator with a bad implementation of buffering and outputting text doesn't make a different bad one good.
