what would you count as low latency terminal?

See https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/. Single-digit milliseconds I’d say. These numbers are minus the keyboard and display latency.

Has anyone run this test on Ghostty?

I get a "Cannot detect the reference pattern" error when I try with Ghostty with Typometer.

Some of those include display latency (e.g. Konsole) because you can't throw lazy rendering out of some terminals.

thanks!
