[patch 06/10] sclp_vt220: speed up console output for interactive work

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Wed Mar 05 2008 - 07:00:45 EST


From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently an output buffer can wait up to HZ/2 until the buffer is
flushed. The wait time is noticeable in interactive tools like mc.

Change the value to HZ/20, which seems enough for interactive work.
