In reference to all the discussion about fast screen updates...

Is there something equivalent to UNIX 'curses' where some "god" keeps a
representation of what the screen 'should' look like at any time and then
figures out the optimum way to actually change the physical screen?

I guess this might be difficult for proportionally spaced fonts & such.
