There are some things that one can see but not read, and still be
recognizable even if your console is scrolling by.
You would not even be able to recongnize it; we're talking about
displaying text faster than the refresh rate, as pavel mentioned
earlier:

stuff is being displayed, it simply stops displaying it, only
refreshing screen few times a second...
On the other hand, making the text console much more efficient would
save a some CPU for *other* processes, say the one that's outputting
text at such a high rate of speed, so it's probably worth it if it's
not too hard.
