Any ideas?

	Yes; if by playback you mean the auto-tailing feature, you can
	disable that via "Edit -> Preferences -> Tail Logs"

	Next release of irush will actually have a popup menu for
	alternately viewing the log in a separate editor (that you can set,
	eg. gvim/wordpad/TextEditor, etc)

	Hmm, which version of Rush are you running, and on which platform?

	You can find out inside irush via "Help -> About Irush", and include
	the version number here, which will be something like 102.42aXX

	There were a few versions where the log tailing feature was slower
	than other releases, so upgrading may help solve that.

	Given the version info, I can probably tell you if you can upgrade
	just the irush tool, without having to upgrade the rest.

	It's trying to display it in a browser that's line oriented,
	but it should be reading the data in blocks of 4096.

	If its not, might be a bug in that version.. I'll check.

	You might try installing the more recent 102.42a9 (July 2008 release)
	on a single machine to see if it makes a difference.

	Which OS platform is this on? (Some platforms behave differently
	than others)
