From c2b512e803285223959e0a97601c017730d1b0bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: user Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 22:19:59 +0200 Subject: term+libc: batched write rendering - one tile render per write(), 2.3x lines sys_write sets wBatch; render_cursor_tile - the single choke point all of term_putc's visible mutations pass through - then marks a dirty span (per LINE-SLOT, so spans survive scroll rotation for free) instead of rendering. term_write_end renders every dirty tile exactly once, then the cursor. Scrolls stay immediate (blank rebuild is cheap and artifact-free); file-bound writes flush for free. The enabler is in libc: puts() was a SYS_PUTC trap PER CHARACTER, so almost no console output ever went through sys_write. It now issues one SYS_WRITE for the whole string - one trap, one batch, and every line-printer (echo, irc, the shell) gets the batched path. Measured: 37-char write = 128k cycles (3.5k/char) vs ~8k/char down the per-char trap path.
