I don't think I've ever encountered a problem where terminal emulation would be too slow. What I do have encountered are terminal emulators that go bonkers and require some arcane configuration magic to figure out what to emulate.
GNOME terminal works and looks pleasant to boot. In fact it works so well that I almost never think of it although I use it all the time.

You don't notice it until you get into a situation where the terminal (emulator) insists on showing you everything flying by, instead of just skipping to the end, in which situation you may be waiting a really long time. Some emulators also cannot deal with, say, 1 million lines of scrollback and searching.
- jampekka 3y agoThat I've encountered a few times but tail or less deals with it fine.
- spookie 3y agoIt really depends on what you're doing frankly, sometimes you cannot use tail or less. Unfortunately.
- askiiart 3y agoThat's fine if you know that your logs or whatever will be very long, but if you're unaware of how long it is, or just don't think about it, it's easy to get caught in a situation where you have to wait for several seconds until you can use your terminal again. Related: this problem gets way worse over SSH. It would be nice if there was kind of SSH replacement that could just send what's currently on screen, plus some lines in each direction.
- ElectricalUnion 3y agomosh? It's a replacement for interactive ssh.
