CU's low performance is, in deed, due its reading a character at a time.
It should be easy (for those with source) to modify it on System III/V and
possibly 4.2/3 BSD to read, say, 64 characters at a time and to do an
ioctl() for the system to buffer up 64 characters at a time with a maximum
delay of .1 or .2 seconds (VMAX=64 VTIME=1 or 2).
