Still 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
