Package: nano
Version: 2.2.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since installing Squeeze (I was previously using Lenny, but did a 
reinstall rather than upgrading) scrolling down a line at a time in nano 
has been very slow. For a 12 kB, 300 line file scrolling down by 
pressing the down arrow key uses 100% of the processor time on a 1 GHz 
Pentium 3. I have always used the smooth scrolling option and 
performance has been fine in the past, but it is now extremely jerky, 
taking several seconds to update the screen. This is on a variety of 
terminal types: console, serial terminal, ssh/xterm and ssh/PuTTY. The 
computer is a server and doesn't have X installed. Scrolling up is fine 
(using about 20% CPU), as is scrolling down a page at a time using the 
Page Down key.

Looking at the system information below, the only relevant thing I can 
see that might have changed is that I might not have been using UTF 
before, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help,

Roger Lynn
