Probably the updates to your (now graphical) terminal. Time is spent updating the frame buffer. Consider it a feature: you can now (better) read along with what's happening ;) A workaround is to start processes that produce lots of output in a shell that isn't constantly outputting to the actual display (e.g. in a VT but switch away after starting, or in tmux but switch to another window after starting...) | I use tmux inside of terminator (vte terminal). It's pretty fast. Try | with some vte terminal like terminator, gnome-terminal, | xfce4-terminal... Yeah, or don't do that... http://www.climagic.org/bugreports/libvte-scrollback-written-to-disk.html Although, judging by the lack of activity, this isn't really a problem. Anyway, personally I prefer to steer clear of vte-based terminal emulators (not saying others don't have (security) bugs, but at least in xterm I feel like they're not ignored for more than 2 years).
