gnome terminal uses much cpu

[Randall Smith <randall@tnr.cc>]

I've noticed that my gnome terminal (2.4.2) is sluggish and uses alot of 
cpu.  For example.  If I unzip a file (unzip foo.zip) in the terminal, 
95% of the cpu goes to displaying the output and %5 goes to the zip 
program.  10 lines per second to the terminal puts my P4 1.7G processor 
to its knees.

xterm doesn't have this problem.  I know that gnome terminal has many 
more features, but is there no way around the sluggish inefficiency?

Anybody else have this problem?
