So I looked into kitty a bit more. Kitty is heavy. It seems to use 2-3x as much CPU for my benchmark task (scrolling around a big text file in an editor) compared with VTE-based terminal emulators, and 5-6x as much as urxvt. Everybody's got different priorities, but for me I'll stick with urxvt and save my battery.
- noch 9y ago> kitty is heavy […] Please file a bug report: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues Kitty aims to offload rendering to the GPU so if your CPU is being hammered that might indicate a problem either in Kitty or the GLFW library. The author is very quick to respond to such bug reports.
- sevensor 9y agoWill do -- I certainly appreciate the effort it must take to write a new terminal emulator, and I'm intrigued by the new ideas kitty brings to the table. I'd like to help it be a program I can use.
