Yes, the xterm is actually nicer than the mac68k console in at
least one way... If you execute a command with voluminous output,
the console will consume many CPU cycles pushing every character
through the kernel interface, while the xterm will just ignore
the extra output, painting only the bottom lines.  It feels much
faster. That would be pretty much the same as running "startx",
though, wouldn't it?
