The RAW: output device, the built-in general purpose ANSI-terminal
type window, seems to be a little slow. I have not formally benchmarked
the device speed, but it falls somewhere near 100 chars/sec. If you have
MicroEmacs running, the output is much slower that ED. I assume ED draws
to the screen directly. MicroEmacs opens a RAW: window for output. 
Also, the Amigaterm program posted recently writes characters
directly to the window using graphics library calls. The output is
definitely faster and keeps up with 1200 baud. I have a similar
terminal program which redirects the output to a RAW: window, and it 
runs much slower. The advantage of the RAW: is that it offers built
in ANSI sequences, like cursor motion, character styles, etc.

So does anyone have a handle on how to speedup the RAW: device?
Or will one have to rewrite it (so much for built in goodies) to
achieve faster output?
