Re: gnome-terminal awfully slow. :-(

I did the same test, and 
I have 36s for gnome-terminal and 16s for xterm.

I agree that vte widget probably needs some loving.  Furthermore, I
would get rid of the transparent feature.  Mostly because I believe
that it's  superfluous feature that creates no real experience.  If
they want it they can use Eterm which has gotten transparency down
to an science.  

Just my two cents.
