Linux Terminal Speed Performance Comparison
gnome-terminal, konsole, wterm, rxvt and Eterm – Linux has a number of well developed and mature terminal applications, but according to a blogger nobody has performed a decent comparison of their text display performance.
With this motivation the guy did some performance tests and was able to conclude that both “gnome-terminal and konsole are exceptionally fast” by taking only only 0.25 to 0.59 seconds to display a 647976 bytes large file, but hey are both very memory hungry, while the more memory efficient ones; wterm, rxvt and Eterm are less speed efficient. And xterm is just slow

Today I wrote a post on terminal project trying to combine the traditional command line interface with elements from the traditional graphical user interface.
