Thought this one would show up some day :) well i can be brief on this ...
in normal use i.e. in pine, links, lynx, mutt ... whatever, console work
its fast enough but on listing stuff etc. its still much slower for it
lacks hardware scrolling. The strangest thing is that if i do `less
filename' the up and down scrolling in pages is fast but at the end it
tries to optimise? or so and it scrolls a few lines and then its *slow* ..
I haven't put in any acceleration in as yet for i wanted to get the other
stuff working first without worrying if its the acceleration or the other
code.

VT's are in a way supported by wscons; its just that its a bit of `work in
progress' and i'm currently looking at how to implement it and scouting
how far the others are.

As you can see with this version (wich will only boot with the new
bootloader) its pretty usable but still lacks some basic stuff... that
will be adressed soon i hope.

Cheers,
Reinoud
