One note though - both screen and tmux introduce some delay making the text appear a tad slower (I'm using it over SSH strictly, no idea about 'native console'), does anyone know the solution?
I think that is more to do with SSH than screen or tmux. I just tested it on a SSH session across the Pacific. No difference whether it is a straight xterm or if it is within a screen session.
Nick, thanks for reply, I'm definitely seeing the difference, I will do more tests to figure our the bottleneck, have to think a bit about how to measure the delay exactly too (currently I'm using SecureCRT as SSH client, should probably try something else)
