Well, that's the reason that we use fixed fonts for konsole. If you use a 
width that is too small for some of the glyphs the glyphs either get clipped 
or they get painted in adjoining cells, the latter results in garbage on the 
screen when scrolling or editing.

Hmm.. maybe can we prevent the garbage by drawing one cell more than strictly 
needed.

ls -lR | head -25000 > /tmp/largefile
time cat /tmp/largefile

You may want to disable the history so that it doesn't influence the 
measurement.
