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.

Soeren.
