Is there a way to make Termux:GUI faster?

If it's just the startup time, it could be the same issue as for Termux:API, both use am to launch the app. I thought I included support for termux-am with am as a fallback, but it seems I only did that for the C library. Will fix that later for Python. As Termux:GUI only works with the GitHub release of Termux, termux-am should work always, though the am performance issue seems nearly solved: https://github.com/termux/termux-api/issues/552
I recently installed termux but I'm not able to use the clipboard feature. Whenever I use termux-clipboard-set "text", it just enters a new line and I have to use Ctrl+Z to stop the program. I'm on android 11 if that helps
