Thank you for your comment. I'm not sure for your specific case, but generally the performance largely depends on the terminal emulators in my experience. For example, xterm and Windows ConPTY are super slow which are sometimes 100 times slower than the fastest terminals. urxvt (rxvt-unicode), alacritty, terminology are usually fast. xfce4-terminal, qterminal, mintty are acceptable. VTE based terminals (GNOME terminal, lxterminal, etc.), termit, etc. are slow in my environments.
- akinomyoga 7y agoActually one of the reason why I wrote this program is to test the terminal performances. When I'm searching the benchmark data of Alacritty, I found this issue https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/289#issue-200130020 https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/289#issue-2001... where the existing Matrix rain program "cmatrix" is mentioned. I tried "cmatrix" in my terminal (I'm using a terminal which I wrote from scratch for myself) and found that the Matrix rain of "cmatrix" is cheaper than I expected. That is the reason why I wrote "cxxmatrix", a version with additional optical effects written in C++.
