e.g. for me on Windows 11, Wezterm updates slower than both cmd.exe and Windows Terminal. It feels like about 300-400ms to give me control back when I hit ctrl+C. Windows Terminal must be about 100-200ms, cmd.exe maybe a tiny bit slower.
I'm not sure speed benchmarks mean much for terminals though, there's going to be a lot of personal preference involved.
- dogma1138 5y agoThe new terminal in windows 11 has GPU acceleration. Tho control character latency likely doesn’t have anything to do with the responsiveness that GPU text rendering provides, since ctrl+c is a sequence captured by the OS it’s more likely to have something to do with which ever API the terminal uses to capture input or even the OS itself since I guess the OS still captures the sequence first then has some checks if the object can be universally copied and if not passes the sequence to the active window in focus for it to handle that.
