I don't mean this to sound particularly mean, but does anyone on
this list know how to read?  (Sorry, Franklin.)  We've said AGAIN
and AGAIN that the current ADB driver has a problem with latency
while scrolling, and you need to run "dt" as soon as you can, or
use "clear" before the screen gets to scrolling, and if you must
scroll, always give the screen a moment to scroll before letting
up the return key.  We've basically answered your questions twice
in the last week.
