Description

Hi, I was integrating rexpect into a project and found that the sleeps are longer than what we needed. Specifically the sleep in read_until is 100ms, and I found that decreasing this to 5ms sped up some of our tests that are using rexpect.

https://github.com/rust-cli/rexpect/blob/be7f1ab8147c3c17e0600e59d1f98d1963d2d880/src/reader.rs#L287

Of course I wouldn't suggest everyone using 5ms, so maybe there's room for configurability? For now I have a fork with that small change.

Research direction

Start at src/reader.rs around the read_until sleep referenced in the issue, then trace how read_until is configured and called. Determine where a configurable delay belongs and verify that the default behavior remains unchanged while callers can use a shorter delay.
