If I knew the answer to that, then I would've ditched XTerm and patched ST already. Unfortunately I know next to nothing when it comes to the inner workings of a terminal.

And if we judge from that pov then one could ask, "What's the critical need for a dynamic window manger or minimal softwares in general?". XTerm has many (visible) problems. Maybe I've misconfiuged it, but I cannot get it to fallback to other fonts reliably, and thus some glyphs don't render. It also chokes badly when it tries to render some unicode glyphs for the first time. I have neither of those problems on ST. But those situations are far less common for me compared to situation where I'm typing into the terminal (which is always). So if I can get a better experience out of the most common workflow out of a certain software, then it's going be the one I will end up using. Also just to clarify, I wouldn't say ST has "latency issues", that implies the situation is _bad_. As I've said, it's the 2nd most responsive terminal I've tried and _MILES_ better than these "gpu accelerated" terminals. It's also the only other terminal that I still have installed in my system. - NRK
