I mentioned in a previous posting that I had implemented buffered
stdout in rn, and it made a big difference in output at high speed.
Lots of people have asked me for the diffs, so I've posted them
to net.sources. If you're using patch, be warned that you'll have
to install speedup.c by hand, since it's a new file and not a diff.

I might point out that, unless Larry deliberately programmed around it, you get buffered stdout "for free" in 4.1bsd and above. -- =Spencer ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!thomas, thomas@utah-cs.ARPA) "Only two rules really count.

Well, mebbe so, but the basic output call in art.c, when spitting out the article, is putchar, and there were no fflush's in the source before I put some in. If 4.1 buffered stdout (as opposed to buffering during printfs, which perhaps it does), I don't think rn would work under it.
