I use Alacritty and it spawns new windows as what I would describe as instantly. I'd say I see the window rendered when my finger leaves the key on the keyboard. It may be using a daemon model, I'm not sure.
I've been meaning to move to Foot, because it's apparently _even_ faster, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
- nathias 5y agost starts in ~0.01s
- pkulak 5y agoWhat's your point though? Assuming Alacritty starts in 0.03... is that the reason to use a terminal? Also, how did you measure that? I'm interested to time Alacritty.
- nathias 5y agoI used 'time' to measure, but it doesn't really matter, what matters is how it feels. A 0.03 and 0.01 are the same, but 0.1 feels slow.
