Yep, you raise it as an objection to my boxes editor / less thingy.
Then you suggested doing the sort of intelligent screen redraw Toni is
implementing.  Which I had left out coz simplicity.

Other than that, no, I haven't seen that come up since the days of dial
up modems.  Sure there's probably some tiny dollar chip that can't run
any faster over a serial port, but I haven't had to deal with any this
century, and it probably wouldn't have enough grunt to run toybox
either.
