Comment on Fui: C library for interacting with the framebuffer in a TTY contextparent

That's assuming you rewrite the whole screen every frame. Most productivity apps don't. Windows (and X11) had this whole infrastructure about managing dirty regions.

Computers with GPUs are now fast enough to blast through recomputing the entire screen's contents every frame, but perhaps for efficiency reasons we still shouldn't?
