summary: Terminal display freezes when saturated with input data
class: semi-bug: This might or might not be a bug, depending on your precise definition of what a bug is.

Apparently the PuTTY terminal's display behaviour has changed when it's being saturated with input data. It used to update the terminal every once in a while (although not IIRC on every single bit of data), whereas now it can apparently freeze until the flow abates (but still munches lots of CPU).
