Not just fast scrolling text. For some reason there is a noticeable delay when just typing text into a shell in iTerm. I didn't notice it until one day I started Terminal.app for no reason at all, and typing in it gave me that feeling that it was predicting my keystrokes, meaning of course that my brain expected a lag that wasn't there.
- karlkatzke 12y agoWhat's hilarious is that nine or ten years ago, the opposite was true: Terminal lagged greatly, and iTerm was much faster.
- danudey 12y agoI had the good (?) fortune to come into OS X at the end of the 10.3 days (in fact, my Powerbook didn't come with an OS install so I put Debian on it for a week until Tiger was released), so I suppose I missed this phase. When I got Tiger on, Terminal was more than sufficient, and iTerm felt immature and impractical for daily use. I never understood why so many people used it, but reading this, it makes a lot of sense now.
- goblin89 12y agoAfter this thread I've updated iTerm2 to 2.0… and switched back to Terminal. I couldn't believe I could forget about such lag throughout my work. On the other hand, such lag is ever-present with SSH—and now it will subjectively increase as I get used to Terminal again.
