Strangely enough, at 1400x1050 on a Pentium M laptop running at 1GHz, I find no performance issues running top, with a CPU usage somewhat, but not significantly, higher than xterm's (for both st and X). This is with st tip and 0.1.1. Using st as an xterm replacement for some time, I found that the missing scrollback buffer is unimportant to me, so long as I have less, and the only real workaround I use is telling vim that it's running in an xterm. --Andrew Hills
