You can run the tests yourself, he describes them in the blog. Used the Is It Snappy! app to measure frames. I tried the throughput test myself just now between the native macOS terminal and ghostty. Ghostty: cat /tmp/lines.txt 0.00s user 0.02s system 36% cpu 0.069 total Native mac terminal: cat /tmp/lines.txt 0.00s user 0.02s system 18% cpu 0.115 total Seems much faster than any of the OP's windows terminals tested except for MinTTY. Likewise in one unscientific test with Is It Snappy, ghostty took 8 frames to render the output from pressing the key, but I didn't repeat multiple times. So, seems faster, but I know what you are talking about, I experience it too. Something about using the terminal on macOS feels sluggish compared to alternatives. It's especially noticeable for me over SSH
