It's because screen tries to refresh the display an aweful lot of time. I
have a sort of a hacky fix for this at the moment. A nicer fix looks to
be non-trivial. But I will try to get to it in a day or two. If I can't
get to it, I will probably check in the sorta-hacky fix (do feel free to
nudge me if I don't!)
