I would be interested in a comparision of uncomposited X11 running Xterm using this measurement method. Xterm outperforms everything "on paper" with typometer

  Not the author, but I did this same project a few years back, these were the results back then: https://jnsn.dev/posts/fastisslow/ https://jnsn.dev/posts/fastisslow/ with a guide https://github.com/DelusionalLogic/Frametime https://github.com/DelusionalLogic/Frametime if you want to replicate it.

  I tried a bunch of terminals over the years. I never did tests that were as in depth as the OP's blog post but no terminal I've used ever matched how good Xterm feels when typing. It's like you're typing within a zero resistance system.
