Not the same hardware (i7-8565U) but it should give some ballpark estimates. xterm: $ time cat enwik9 real 4m32,750s user 0m0,032s sys 0m21,799s gnome-terminal: $ time cat enwik9 real 1m37,299s user 0m0,030s sys 0m13,300s Curiously, gnome-terminal actually seems much slower. It appears to only renders the text in chunks(?).
