You already fixed this.

Turns out that this has been fixed meanwhile, too.

And while collecting information about that "slowdown" problem when reading
much data from a Process, I noticed that this is a GUI problem, i.e. it only
appears when I update a TextArea with data from the Process. The immense
memory allocation also seems natural to me in this light. I should find a
better way to code things... (Currently, at some point, my program just
hangs after becoming slower and slower with the TextArea updates until the
Process terminates.)
