Terminal-based presentations generally don't look quite presentable. I'd rather use suckless.org's sent. It's a very similar tool for graphical presentations, although it doesn't have quite as many features. It's quite good if you're a fan of the Takahashi Method, or the similar Lessig Method of presentation. Which I am.

#12I like tpp (http://www.ngolde.de/tpp.html). Syntax is easy to learn. It can simulate shell interaction and you can shell out from within the presentation.
And it's been feature complete for a long time. I just tried viewing a short presentation I have at BayLISA nine years ago (https://gist.github.com/cwarden/1349583), and it looks fine.

#13If I load test/03.md with it, the process consumes around 19MB. Is that expected and normal for displaying ansi text?

I haven't done any sort of profiling, but yeah that's a bit much. Unless Pandoc really needs that much memory to do the conversion, I can probably cut it down by quite a lot. I will look into it.
