I think I looked at ncurses.  The biggest thing with that was getting a
proper "termio" (terminal capabilities).  There's some out there, ansi-bbs,
but it didn't seem to work for me.

Optimizing screen writes is what ncurses does very well, but it isn't a
feature I look for anymore these days.  ;)

Take care,
