Sort of. The screen size can be full screen or small. The amount of effort to refresh the screen.
the screen does a refresh when there is a change to the bit map. So, when flooded with serial characters, there is kind of a storm of refresh demands. the smaller window has a smaller burden. When sitting idle, it idles. What was interesting was having to selectively disable a timer that was used to draw the cursor, when new character data appears. On Sat, Feb 25, 2023 at 5:24 PM John R.
