It's still an order of magnitude slower during startup than other terminals such as xterm, rxvt or even mlterm. On my intel laptop I can often see the gl context flashing before becoming the final background color, which is annoying. Requires also way more ram.
kitty is a great terminal, but it's one example of fast not being also lightweight.

- aumerle 6y agoI cant reply to your other post, so: you need to run the other kitty instance also with -1. If you do that, you will get the same numbers I got.
- bsdubernerd 6y agoI know, I'm actually using kitty regularly.
