Description Artem Baguinski 2003-10-24 04:32:01 UTC
in vesaframebuffer and often in xterm scrolling is annoyingly slow in less.
adding LESS=-c could improve gentoo newbie's impression (especially if a newbie
came from a platform where less works fast)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot from livecd
2. execute 'less <some-long-text-file>'
3. try navigating PgUp PgDn

Actual Results:  
less slowly scrolls up and down

Expected Results:  
fast navigation, just like i used to in console

gentoo 1.4 on sony vaio pcg-f403, but i had the same experience on many other
boxes, but hesitated to file a feature request.
