- jolmg 4y agoBy latency, I guess you mean its launching speed? I like urxvt for that. I started using it back when I was on a netbook. So much quicker to launch than gnome-terminal or konsole. I didn't even need its daemon functionality which should be even quicker to open up windows. On throughput, I guess you mean its refresh rate? Among its many options, I remember there's one about skipping drawing content when it's coming in faster than urxvt is able to draw it, in order to not slow down the program writing to it. There may be more options that affect the refresh rate.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoTerminal latency is the delay between hitting a key and a glyph showing up on screen. There can be multiple layers of keyboard mapping and drawing APIs that slow this down compared to minimalistic terminal emulators from 30 years ago.
- camgunz 4y agoA little out of date, but useful I think: https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/ EDIT: Should say a lot of this is Mac
- jolmg 4y agoWasn't expecting to see st be on the slower end and emacs on the faster end.
