xterm is not slow as such
Authored by: thunderbear on May 06, '02 05:18:36AM

xterm depends a lot on the speed of the X-server.

I have found that the latest version of the XDarwin port of the XFree86 server is rather fast in rootless mode, and that it - for me - is the OroborOSX that slows it down.

The default configuration of XDarwin should be ok for most purposes.

slower than Eterm

That migh tbe so. But my experience with XDarwin in full screen mode is that many things are a bit slow. xterm scrolls rather slowly regradless. But Eterm is always faster. Probably more than three times faster.
