What
Claude Code's terminal interface normally redraws itself on a steady timer (about every 16 milliseconds). Now, for a brief 50-millisecond window right after keyboard input arrives, it switches to a much faster redraw rate (about every 4 milliseconds).
Why
This makes typing feel snappier and more immediately responsive, since the display catches up to your keystrokes faster instead of waiting for the next regular redraw tick.
