It is probably a combination of two things: a) the programs installed by
Garnome are not optimized for speed (unless you specifically set those
flags) and b) the widget used in gnome-terminal (vte) is very slow in
itself.

I never use gnome-terminal for anything that will scroll lots of text,
Garnome-compiled or not. A good old plain xterm will give you the
performance you want.
