While I can't comment on ncurses secifically, CURSES should be
absolutely fine for this sort of application.  Heck, I've written full
screen editors atop of CURSES and run them over 9600 serial with
"acceptable" performance.  It just requires some careful tuning and
careful choice of how you use CURSES itself (as with most such things,
there's usually a more difficult fast way, and an easier slow way).
