Interested to see how this compares in performance and resource usage with Alacritty[1] [1]:https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty https://github.com/jwilm/alacrit

  tl;dr: Hyper 1 did pretty bad. I don't expect much from Hyper 2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eQJPan-hs4AgX1pK45WS2UNjjVgRykqx/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eQJPan-hs4AgX1pK45WS2UNjjVg... source: https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/

  Have you tried Kitty? https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty, Pretty good too in terms of performance

    I laughed real hard at this phrasing: > Alacritty is the fastest terminal emulator in existence. Bold.

      Especially true when the methodology to test performance was just `find /usr` [1], and comparing it with a just a few alternatives. I'm sure they have a better and more thorough benchmark these days, but that was pretty funny. [1] https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/289 https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/289

      Depends what you mean by "fast". It seems to have the highest stdout throughput, but that is not necessarily the most important metric: https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/

  Alacritty's primary focus appears to be performance (GPU accelerated, no scrollback, no tabs, no native split panes). Hyper 2's primary focus appears to be features and extensibility. I doubt they will be in the same ballpark.
