Dear Sven,
> Are you still having performance issues with gnome-terminal?
Replying again.
Upgraded to sarge 3.1r5: no change. Then upgraded to sid, now using xorg
(not xfree86) and changed driver from vesa to i810 (as xorg vesa could not
do [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and re-ran my test: depending on terminal size (80x24
or full screen) my Celeron2GHz takes between 28 and 53 seconds for
perl -e '$|=1; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n"
}'
and a mere 0.7 or 1 second for
perl -e '$|=0; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n"
}'
Seems not fixed at all.
Cheers,
