I just installed hack and it is unbearably SLOW! It seems the screen
updating is what's holding things up. When I run across a room, there
are usually 2 or 3 clones of myself for a few seconds (yes, the load
average is < 1 at the time). It's even worse when you have that stupid
dog yapping at your heels.

Has anyone modified hack to use curses? Moving the player/monsters
then doing a single refresh() would be MUCH more efficient. Thanks
for any tips! (Isn't there a leper joke in there somewhere?)
