Hi, what makes you sure it is the *rate* of updates that causes what you
see?
Also, as far as I am aware, xterm doesn't do any rate-limiting, at least
not more so than rxvt-unicode (and I would assume rather less, in fact, as
urxvt by default limits itself to 60 updates/s). If you have evidence to
the contrary, I would be happy to hear about it.
If you have X-server CPU issues in rxvt-unicode but not in xterm, then
most likely this is due to different configuration (such as xft font vs.
core font, background images and so on).
