Have you tried switching back? It is often more noticable when latency increases than when it decreases.

- berkes 3y agoIf that is the case, why should I switch to a terminal with lower latency?
- kccqzy 3y agoI use Alacritty as well and for me I care about having a low latency of response when I press Ctrl-C after I accidentally cat a huge text file. I want my key press to be acted upon immediately and that I want the pages and pages of text to finish rendering quickly so I can get back to my shell prompt. When I did a quick test two years ago, Alacritty outperformed Gnome Terminal. Looking forward to trying this again when I update my system.
- berkes 3y agoBut you describe that you do perceive a latency difference. My reaction is to someone who says you're unlikely to perceive latency difference when it gets better (lower). Would you switch if ctrl-c wasn't reacting perceivably different?
- INTPenis 3y agoNo and it doesn't matter enough to me to try.
