Tmux and screen are pretty notorious for slowing things down.
- grawp 2y agoI use window manager for tabs as it should be. No need for some stinky multiplexer.
- Lio 2y agoI think it's unfair to label tmux "stinky". It is slower, that's true, but so many times I've had to restart my terminal or I've quit it accidentally and tmux has saved my bacon. Performance is adequate (for me), it's cross platform and gives me multiple cut/copy buffers.
- gorgoiler 2y agoOh that’s very interesting to hear about tmux increasing latency. I’ve not heard this before but now you mention it, it seems obvious. Could you elaborate?
- soraminazuki 2y agoTerminals emulators aren't aware of tmux panes, so it'd likely needs to redraw the whole thing if even a single pane changes.
- bjoli 2y agoTmux scans every character at least once.
