Under Preferences -> Session -> Scrollback there is an option "Refresh Amount" which states:

Set the number of lines to parse before refreshing display.

I couldn't find any other useful information about this. Anyone know the practical implications of moving this number around?

Here is the old Zmud link that explains it.

The Cmud manual online doesn't even show it. Not even on the screenshot.

Yep, that's a good explanation in the Zmud reference, Thanks!

Refresh Amount (local)
Controls how many lines of text are buffered before being updated in the MUD output window. If set to one, the window will be updated after each line is received from the MUD, which results in very smooth scrolling, but is also the slowest settings. If set to zero, the window is only updated when the MUD finishes sending an entire network buffer, which results in jumpy scrolling (and may result in some lines never displayed if the buffer is larger than a screenful) but is the fastest. The default is 5 which updates the window after every 5 lines are received from the MUD. The default setting is a good compromise between speed and smoothness. Note that in any setting, triggers are always tested on each line received whether it is displayed or not.
