Hi, currently I am using urxvt as my standard terminal application, which is FAST and reliable. But it only emulates 24bit colors if instructed so. It maps 24bit rgb to 256 color using a fast but not total correct formula to to do (which is no critism - its just the way ot is implemented).
I googled qyite a bit to find 24color terminal emulators and the one, which came closer to what I want is sakure. But comparing the speed of sakura with urxvt (catting a long log file twice while measureing the time of the second cat) it shows that sakura needs six times more time than urxvt. Combining this with the compile sessions, which are one of the core features of Gentoo ;)))... What I want is the "fastest" possible (...) terminal emulator supporting true color (24bit). I dont need fancy configuring options (two exception: TABS! and lightweighted) and I dont want KDE stuff (or any other bloated thing with thousands of dependencies...) I am simply using openbox. What are your experiences? Any hint is heartly welcome! Thanks ! Cheers Meino PS: The terminal emulator dont need to be part of Gentoo necessarily...if it is compilable by a human being withoyt super powers... ;)
