Re: terminal benchmark

[Olivier Fourdan <fourdan xfce org>]

Hi Grzegorz,

Both share the same vte widget, I see no reason for this other than a
flaw in your benchmark methodology :)

Are you sure you have the same amount of back scroll back buffer?

By doing the same, using the s=exact same amount of back buffer, with
uncovered windows in both cases, I have more realistic values:

        gnome-terminal       Terminal
----------------------------------------
real       0m8.166s          0m6.749s
user       0m0.178s          0m0.173s
sys        0m0.669s          0m0.709s

I use the command "time find /usr/share/doc" which generates 59884
lines.

Nothing wrong with gnome-terminal here I think.

HTH
Olivier.
