Description
If I remember correctly, before the Dynamips community releases the Console/Telnet output was in chunk of text and not line by line like it is now. Most likely a buffer flush was added somewhere in the code. Apparently some users miss this because it looks faster for them?! I think you don't really have this issue on fast computers.

Research direction
Start by locating the C code that handles Console/Telnet output and inspect how output is buffered and flushed. Review the related forum post for the expected behavior and compare it with the current implementation. Done means agreeing on the intended output chunking and verifying that Console/Telnet output matches it without breaking responsiveness.
