I'm using it, and I'm not seeing this very-slowness...

I don't know about your first question but, as to your second:

Call the Win32 API instead. Console class in .NET is *slow*. Very
unfortunate Especially if you want to target Mono as well.

It seems to be OK here too now. The ast time I tried to use it was in
VS2005 in XP, now I'm running VS2008 on Vista. The code I tested with was
this (caution: ugly code follows):

Random r = new Random();

Console.Clear( );

while ( true ) {
for ( int y = 0; y < 20; y++ ) {
for ( int x = 0; x < 70; x++ ) {
Console.SetCursorPosition( x, y );
Console.ForegroundColor = (ConsoleColor) r.Next( 16 );
Console.Write( 'x' );
}
}
}

Further speed increases by only setting the cursor position in the Y loop.
In a Roguelike there would be further increases by only drawing what's
changed.

Yeah, that's work pretty slow
