As a recent convert from Alacritty to Kitty, I can confirm this. Kitty blew Alacritty out of the water in the first 10 mins of my experience with it.
Like holy crap, it's a very well written and well thought out piece of software. And it's fast. I'm all about the Rust hype, but Kitty reduced latency drastically.
- akho 5y agoStill slower than xterm. And I have yet to see a feature I need that's not in (famously bloated) xterm, and which Alacritty or Kitty provide.
- petepete 5y agoBy what measure is it slower? I don't really notice any difference in doing day-to-day stuff, but I tried out tree across my entire ~/projects dir and got the following results: XTERM: 28032 directories, 196844 files tree projects 0.65s user 1.19s system 56% cpu 3.229 total KITTY: 28032 directories, 196844 files tree projects 0.62s user 0.75s system 55% cpu 2.475 total
- akho 5y agoLatency and startup time are largest contributors to my feeling. I don’t have a measurement, and both are difficult to measure.
