During the last barely more than 24 hours, at least 4 people have
reported/confirmed heavy latencies newly appearing in their GNOME
Terminal. One person with Ubuntu 23.10 and two people with Ubuntu 22.04
(one of which comments has just been removed).

ubuntu-22-04-4

GNOME Terminal, and its underlying VTE terminal emulator widget, did not
receive any updates recently in Ubuntu, so it's highly suspected that
the bug sneaked in into some other component (or maybe a valid change in
some other component triggered a yet undiscovered bug in VTE / GNOME
Terminal).

Even though I cannot reproduce the issue myself, I went through the log
of my recent apt updates, and this mutter change is the only one
seemingly relevant (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
terminal/-/issues/8070#note_2067801 onwards); in fact, the summary
showing a suspiciously high correlation with the new problem.

At this point I don't have anything concrete, and it might just be a
random coincidence, but I highly suspect that this recent mutter update
introduces severe lagging in GNOME Terminal (and other terminal
emulators using VTE's GTK3 version).
