Mitchell has a 5 min lightning talk discussing performance of ghostty which is worth a quick watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPaGkEesw20&t=3015s

It's one of those things that you don't realize how poor the performance is until you experience something better.

No, it’s one of those things I’ve tested myself extensively and arrived at my own conclusion. Which I already mentioned in the comment you responded to.

The performance talk is about ghostty, which you did not mention trying. You mention alacritty, which is GPU based and offers good performance, but you're quick to rebuttal on unrelated projects.

I only settled on Alacritty after giving all the new and supposedly fast terminal emulators a spin (at least a day for various tasks).
