If kitty isn't nicely cached it takes over 500ms on my machine.
Using your suggested flag it still takes twice as long.
- aumerle 6y agoYou need to run kitty -1 to start kitty and leave it running. Then all future kitty -1 invocations will open new windows instantaneously.
- aidenn0 6y agoI use kitty. "time kitty -1 true" takes about 180ms on my machine. That's more than fast enough for me, but certainly slower than many other terminals.
