not a dumb question at all, and you're right: the exact value of 250ms is strictly not necessary.
I wanted to keep the code in a timeout, so it does not block the 'onmessage' handler,
but rather that it runs later when the browser has idle cycles.

We could of course reduce the timeout, but in my experience, sometimes browsers behave unexpected
when it's too short (e.g., it then runs immediatly after the JS code, without a render cycle in
between, which is what i want to avoid here)

In practice, omitting the timeout here would naturally work too here, but possibly delay the content
of the terminal in favor of resizing.

Does that make sense to you?
