ok, so I I tried... I set dpkg-reconfigured fontconfig, switched to font
fixed, did my time find benchmark and redid the benchmark with some
courier 9pts font. result: gnome-terminal is unusably slow:
gt (font fixed 9pts):
real 4m2.030s
user 0m0.536s
sys 0m4.936s
gt (font courier 9pts):
real 3m47.649s
user 0m0.548s
sys 0m4.882s
mgt (font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 - which
happens to be smaller than a 10pts fixed/courier font in gt don't knwo
why)
real 0m55.705s
user 0m0.442s
sys 0m4.456s
xterm is like 2 sec faster.
So I will stay with mgt which also has a lot more usability enhancements
compared with gt.
