There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks so much!
I tried this on Windows and that fixes the sluggishness!
I always thought that's just how it is on Windows 😅.

Summary
Interactive mode could render screen updates one character at a time when the system was under load, particularly on Windows.
The Ratatui Crossterm backend was writing directly to
stderr, so its per-cell terminal commands were not buffered before being sent to the terminal. This made intermediate frame output visible during rendering.This change wraps the TUI’s stderr writer in
io::BufWriter. Ratatui still flushes the backend after each completed frame, preserving timely updates while ensuring frame output is written in larger batches.Verification
