Yeah, the screen redraw stuff was tense. As I recall, the best way to see
that was on a mid-speed line, say 9600 baud. Slower and you could see it
but it was still just annoying. A lot faster and there was no visible
magic. At 9600 you could see the screen optimization doing some startling
stuff.

This is true. Gosling Emacs from 1984 and GNU Emacs 13 from 1985 both
have the skull and crossbones comment.
