Vineet Reynolds updated JBIDE-18330:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
The Forge console appears to be sluggish in Windows. It appears to be so slow that characters appear one at a time.

Scripts execute much slower on Windows as compared to Linux or Mac, and often require setting the {{--timeout}} parameter for longer scripts.

The Forge console appears to be sluggish in Windows. It appears to be so slow that characters appear one at a time.

Scripts also execute much slower on Windows as compared to Linux or Mac, and often require setting the {{--timeout}} parameter for longer scripts.

The root cause appears to be the Forge plugin itself, that writes characters to the console, one at a time, and often delegated to a separate thread that updates the JFace document. This could be optimized to ensure that:

* updates to the document are done in 'block mode' instead of 'character mode'.
* context-switching between the execution thread and the UI thread is also minimized.
