Not here ! It really could benefit from perf improvements, but
unresponsive is really far from the truth.

Ctrl-C works like a charm.

It depends on the size of your gnome-terminal

FYI :
- I'm using latest snaps from Ximian (far from being up to date !)
- My box is powered by an antediluvian p3 500
- Maybe, my video card helps a lot, it's a geforce2 w/ nvidia drivers
render extension, I don't know...

More over, libzvt has always been a pain w/ vim, and vte makes it work
as intended (i18n, numpad...).

It definitly deserves to be a default as it just works ! Switching back
to zvt would be a regression.
