Hello,

I don't think it will be actually measurable by any mean. The
optimization we are talking about saves transmitting one byte while
making the terminal interpret one more character sequence (tab+backspace
vs arrow-right). In the common case of running emacs in a terminal, I'd
rather guess that the overhead of the additional character sequence
interpretation is most probably way more expensive than the transmission
of an additional byte.
