What I was trying to show, and also why I have no interest in creating something out of Termkit, is just that we have a lot of low hanging fruit that can still be fixed. I'd rather do that work as part of VTE so all the applications I use benefit (including GNOME Builder, which I wrote and maintain). This was a fairly straightforward implementation of VT parsing and uses the retained render tree in GTK properly. There is no need to sacrifice CPU for GPU or vice-versa. You can literally do better in both directions while rendering at full frame rates.
