It essentially multiplexes a text terminal (which is useful for running Sage in the background after you log off, or being able to view/control the process remotely), but can also be used to create a long scrollback buffer or for logging the screen output to a file. The last is very handy, since then you have a record of the commands inputted to Sage and the output. Also, you can set the delay for how often the log buffer is flushed. Thus, if you have a process that outputs just a small update periodically, you don't have to wait until the disk buffers are flushed to see the latest output.
