I have found aminal useful and hackable (since it is written in Go). However, I found the latency a bit too high when used Midnight Commander inside the terminal. So I have added a command line flag for optionally running the pprof profiler. This was not that useful as most time is spent in cgo calls, however, the option might be useful for future development.
Then I have added an option to set runtime.GOMAXPROCS(), and I have found than -threads 4 makes aminal responsive enough to be used with mc. I am aware that this is just ducktape and not a solution, but it certainly makes the terminal more usable, hence please merge it if you like the idea.
Best,
Botond

Description
Hello,
I have found aminal useful and hackable (since it is written in Go). However, I found the latency a bit too high when used Midnight Commander inside the terminal. So I have added a command line flag for optionally running the pprof profiler. This was not that useful as most time is spent in cgo calls, however, the option might be useful for future development. Then I have added an option to set
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(), and I have found than-threads 4makesaminalresponsive enough to be used withmc. I am aware that this is just ducktape and not a solution, but it certainly makes the terminal more usable, hence please merge it if you like the idea.Best, Botond
