Hi All:
I have tried Terminator, iTerm, mrxvt, GLTerm mentioned at the
following page as alternatives to Mac OS X Terminal.app:
http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2006/05/23/alternatives-to-terminalapp-on-mac-osx/
I have also tried putty on Mac OS X.
But all of these terminals along with native Mac OS Terminal.app suffer the same slowness while scrolling down a file in vim editor.
As a comparison data point, I can scroll 300 lines in 10 seconds when
I use putty on windows. But all the terminals including native
Terminal.app on Mac OS X 10.6.1 can scroll only 120 lines in 10
seconds.
To many people this may not seem like a big deal, but being a
professional developer that makes a huge difference to me as I can
feel the sluggish left-right-up-down movement in vim.
In your opinion what do you think the root cause may be?
Do you know of any terminal application on Mac OS X, which can match
putty on windows in terms of scroll speed?
And if it's a Mac OS X GUI limitation, when is Apple going to improve this?
Thanks,
Ashish
