I hope you are optimizing "performance" for latency which is the most important metric for a pleasant experience of them all [1]. The current WSL Terminal absolutely excels in that regard.
All GPU based terminal emulators I tried so far make latency worse. You have to do away with double buffering and V-Sync for small changes (or on key-press-events) to get in the sub 1ms range.

- zadjii 7y agoLARGE portions of the new terminal's codebase are taken straight from the code of the existing conhost.exe, so hopefully we'll keep all the performance we already had. This is an absolutely epic post you've linked, I'll make sure to share with the team.
