Do you know what those blank lines are in the second report?  Are 
those the line-end for the received text?  I assume the blank 
Remote: entries are for clearing the buffer before commands.  I 
assume the ? are timeouts.

Can those responses include a large number of trailing 
non-printable characters?

A null can mess up the display of a field, so I would guess you are 
not getting nulls.

I have run across so many logging problems that I created a generic 
logging mechanism that displays non-printables in many ways, color 
code in and out, log the time or delta time to fraction of a 
second, limit the size (as you did) and so on.
Are you using "put after" or rebuilding the field content?  Are you 
appending characters to your log one at a time?

Are you sure your 200-line-limitation code really works?  The 
getting gradually slower and slower hints it might be this and 
maybe one other thing.

OK.  No real ideas.  Just thrashing.
