You can configure the get_input delays with set_input_timeouts()

I notice that you're using the curses library directly in your source, 
was that to try to reduce the delay in get_input()?  It shouldn't be 
necessary.

The ListBox widget also lets you scroll back through the text displayed. 
If you don't want your ListBox content to grow infinitely, have a look 
at making your own list walker class for the ListBox.  That way you have 
more control over what is displayed, and you can easily remove older 
items as new ones are created.
