  Not much beats urxvt, but even gnome-terminal beats ansi-term. urxvt: real 0m0.314s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.040s gnome-terminal: real 0m1.228s user 0m0.090s sys 0m0.040s ansi-term: real 0m6.493s user 0m0.150s sys 0m0.030s Also, ls --color=auto really messes up ansi-term. It glitches all over the place and I think treats some color codes as carriage returns or other motion commands for some reason.
