Isn't Terminal.app famously pretty speedy compared with most other terminal emulators? In fact, there's a link from this article to another of Dan's posts that's precisely about terminal performance - https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/
It's a few years old now so I've no doubt that Alacritty's performance has improved, but I'm suspicious of the idea that Terminal.app is noticeably slow.
- jd3 6y agoI've always loved the low latency of Terminal.app (particularly over iTerm2, which I find unusable), but recently noticed that it has gotten a little worse in Big Sur now that the "Antialias Text" option is broken on non-retina displays. I assume the extra forced compositing/rendering/whatever being imposed by antialiasing is to blame, though I could be wrong.
