The small buffer size has caused serious lags in large content use cases like scrolling on terminal multiplexers.

Makes sense to increase the buffer size - 4 KB is quite small. Thanks! |

Fixes #4976.
I've tested very large content streaming scenarios (
chafa-ing dozens of large images).masterlags to a painfully unusable state where the terminal emulator remains unresponsive for up to minutes.With this patch it's very smooth and scrolling in the multiplexer also works perfectly. 64KB seems a much more sensible size than 4KB it appears.
