What was/is the VT-100 cursor blink rate?
1 Hz. Duty cycle is about 2/3 sec on, 1/3 sec off. The blink cycle gets
restarted on any new output at a point where the cursor is off but about
to turn on -- that way there's no cursor during continuous output, but a
fairly steady one (with slight flicker on each keystroke) during typed
input.
ESC [5m blink is at 1.75 sec (so, .57 Hz) 50% duty cycle, if you were going
to ask that next. (You'd think it'd be the same as the cursor, but no.)
