Isn't that comparison dated from July of 2017? After iTerm2 added metal rendering it got much more performant.

- tbrock 7y agoStill not as fast as Terminal.app
- nullstyle 7y agoWould you link us to current benchmarks?
- tbrock 7y agoI’m not sure any more recent benchmarks exist, but try and use both and notice the difference first hand. One is clearly faster at the things that matter (text rendering and input) and yes — has less features. The reason for this is the same reason that edge/safari have better scroll+graphics perf in their native OSes over Firefox and Chrome. 1st party browsers use internal apis that MS and Apple use and don’t expose.
- coldtea 7y ago>One is clearly faster at the things that matter (text rendering and input) Those things hardly matter at level of difference between the two apps... This is not like Atom and Vim speed difference, this is more like Vim vs Emacs...

- eddyg 7y agoYou gotta love the "Copy Performance Stats" menu item (available in the "iTerm" menu) to help George debug any performance-related issues. Do something that you think is too slow, select that menu option, and open an issue. (Note that the only drawing that is timed is between when iTerm becomes active and when you copy the stats.) He's definitely concerned with performance.
