How are start-up times?
I mostly like kitty but I’ve noticed that it takes a couple seconds to start up when I put my cpu down to 400Mhz. (Which might seem like an odd thing to do, but xterm handles it fine and, hey, why do we need billions of clock cycles to start up a terminal? That’s ridiculous).
- teamspirit 2y agoJust out of curiosity, what reason do you have to do that? Really curious to hear.
- bee_rider 2y ago400 is a bit extreme, it is as low as my clock will go. But I often go down to 1200 or 800. I have an OLED screen and mostly use black background terminals, so I can get some pretty decent battery life out of it, especially at night when I dim the screen. Dim/red shift/slow CPU is a nice low-distraction night time mode IMO. Plus it is keeps my palms comfortable even if I accidentally run a computationally intensive code.
