    the cost of launching a new process with a gui is not cheap. there's a lot of setup before you even get a window up ... when that process is already there (terminal) with all of th…

    there are in fact ways of drawing raw bitmap data in terminals - look up sixel for starters... but that's not what this is about. the escapes to do images and video are very simple…
