Something for 5.0, have seperate buffers & GUI widgets for each session.
I hacked up a tkui variant that does this (in the sandbox) and someone
had mentioned doing something similar on the list.  Text goes to the
wigdet to just the session the socket is associated with, but you can
write to that plus the current session if you like.

Maybe some of the people who use multiple sessions w/ the current
lyntin can comment on how they handle multiple sessions now.

summary: 10k characters on a line is slow, much much slower than 10 chars

This sounds like a bad regular expression, since the same amount of network
and GUI work has to be done in either case it is clearly the long line that
is killing it.  It is easy to write a bad regexp that takes exponential time.
Could you try this without any of your own regexps loaded (or confirm you 
didn't have any of your own regexps loaded) so we can be sure the bad regexp
is in the core code?  The net.py _line_regexp looks like a candidate for
bad behavior, I'll check that one out in the meantime.

Thanks in advance,
