How do I speed up output from an async-shell-command or start-process? (alien.top)

I tried the async-shell-command and start-process functions to get the output from the very verbose app. Logs still arrive even 2-3 minutes after the process has ended. Is there any way to speed buffer up?

Emacs is not a good tool for this, at least directly. Send the output to a file and have Emacs open that file with auto-revert-mode enabled.
