 Replying to [comment:4 raimue]:

 No, it's the `*shell* buffer inside `GNU Emacs`.

 setup. Usually, it should be `TERM=xterm` or `TERM=xterm-256color`,
 matching the capabilities of the terminal emulator.

 Since `GNU Emacs` performs a lot of things inside that buffer it's not
 really efficient when `GNU Emacs` and some thought smart shell try to
 perform nifty things. IMO `GNU Emacs` performs pretty well. If not better
 …

 There is also a more `ANSI conforming` terminal emulation, the `*ansi-term
 buffer*`. Its TERM is set to `eterm-color`. Next week, when some installed
 ports might have been upgraded, I can try to see how this mode performs.
