It's not a video game. I type programs in it. 30-110 ms is more than fast enough.

- greyw 4y agoThe terminal emulator is probably the most used and most important software I'm running. It needs to be enjoyable. I personally can feel the lag so its not good enough for me. Anyway that being said I have some collegues that are not bothered by lagging mouse cursors and other janky stuff so I can somewhat understand that this might not matter to some people. edit: I just tried out st again on my gnu/linux machine and it seems to be fine with respect to input latency so I guess its not all too bad of a terminal emulator. Maybe it only sucks on macOS.
- georgia_peach 4y agoIt's probably what ninjin said -- XQuartz latency. I use it on Debian, and speed-wise, I can't tell the difference between st & the GPU-accelerated terminals. On Mac, I switched from iTerm2 to Apple's built-in terminal. It sips battery compared to all of the others.
