There is at lease one open issue¹ with the clipboard crate that causes a high amount of wakeups (under Wayland at least). Whatmore, the wakeups scale with the number of terminals open. The project is ruthless about performance[latency] regressions, but not so much about performance[energy] overhead.

- Narishma 5y agoThey seem to care more about throughput than latency.
- jorams 5y agoYes, which seems very very weird to me. When it launched they immediately marketed it as super fast, but just typing into it had noticeable latency. Throughput is great if a command is producing massive amounts of output, but it's not like you're going to read at that speed. I can usually pipe into less instead. I hope latency has improved to be much better. Haven't tried it in a few years.
