[Bug 850649] Re: gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy

 

Terminal tab switching is slower in 11.10 on my machine (Core2Duo@2GHz,4GB RAM) with Unity-2D too. Also workspace switching is a nightmare in vte based terminal implementations: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/665548.
In 11.04 it was also slow however I could live with it.
Maybe vte is the key to this slowliness?

Title:
  gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  After the update to oneiric the gnome-terminal appears to be slow and
  display is sometimes buggy:
