There is a delay because scrolling and interrupting of output is
implemented solely in birdc and bird always generates full output that
takes a time. OTOH, on testing masine with Pentium 2, 2 Ghz with full
BGP feed (320k routes) i got a delay ~ 1.5 s. Usually this is not
a problem because users anyway have to use filtered show route cmd
to cope with many routes.
