Ok, I'll take a look at this for the next release.

Were you able to fit this in the release? I didn't see anything in the release notes. Thanks.

Sorry, no. I did look into it, but didn't come up with any good way to implement this without really complicating the way a webclient works.

The 'nlite' webclient code I posted did try to workaround it on the client side, and it seems to work fine for all the normal async activities that happen in the built in screens (related to async artwork loading, and messages etc). It was a bit of a hack, which amounted to continuing to request screen updates for a few seconds after the user stopping pressing keys.

Would it be feasible to have the client ask for a screen update more often (say every second) or would this put too much strain on the network or server?

You would notice CPU usage every second etc on your server. If that doesn't bother you then sure, then sure a client could requests updates more often if it wanted.

The more frequently you do screen updates the more likely you will have a collision which will cause a sluggish remote sub's adaptive logic sounds better but doesn't eliminate the risk.

yep, that too. ie, if it's current processing a screen update then it's got to wait until the current one finishes before it can start the next one in response to a key press on a remote. On a fast-ish server, it's probably not very noticable, but on a slower server could make things feel sluggish.

Sub, could you add a flag in /activity to show the screen needs updating since the last /control request. Polling on activity could be feasible.

I know you don't comment on wishes, but I really would like to see this if it is feasible.
