About the speed, it is a bit slower than urxvt but not that much slower. This is in a source code directory of sage.

Pretty sure, it will be a tad bit faster in urxvt with fixed fonts, and no transparency/shading effects. And probably the same if fixed fonts are used in terminology. That said, to get a font size on par with urxvt, I had to use a size of 11 in terminology instead of 8 in urxvt. Any reason why there is this discrepancy? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
