Turns out this is due to lack of utf-8 support in mrxvt, changing the en_US or
he_IL locale solved the problem

No solution here yet, this is not utf-8 related and I think also happens in
other programs, in aptitude I see a delay and refresh when pressing arrow down
for the first time which I am guessing is related to the same issue of some
characters being sent the to program for some reason.
Fixed some amd64 related warnings in the code also, but it didn't help.
