Over every character including the empty spaces, or just every non-space 
character?

If it's just the non-space characters then that's expected: the output 
will limit itself to your serial port baud rate and you would need to 
use a faster baud rate to minimise the visible effects.

If it's every character including the spaces, then please try the following:

   set esc:hex 1b
   echo ${esc:string}[2J
   show version
