How to make tmux's reaction faster?

Question

I use tmux and find one problem of it. For example, I make 2 panes within 1 window under tmux. In one pane, I compile Linux kernel and as you know it will output a lot of message there. During the compilation, in another pane of tmux, when I tried to input some command, it will react very slow. How to solve this? Thanks!

Answer 1

With two panes, tmux has to update two portions of the screen at once. My suggestion is to let the compile running in a separate window, so that tmux doesn't need to render so much output to the visible screen, and configure some sort of monitor on the compile window so you will be notified when it is finished.
