Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster
Meanwhile, all GNOME-based terminals are still capped at 40fps:

Ask HN: What is your fav “I can't believe in 2022 this still doesn't work right”
Low latency is still available. Get a fast gaming keyboard/mouse/monitor/NVMe SSD. Use a latency-tuned kernel, e.g. with full preemption enabled. Disable swap and run a userspace OOM killer to avoid the problems this would otherwise cause. Run Xorg with compositing disabled and TearFree disabled. Disable vsync everywhere. Don't use software that caps the framerate low (e.g. terminals using libvte[0]). Turn off all UI animations.
Most software I used feels more responsive than anything from the Windows 95 era.

xfce4-terminal: No more bold fonts in 4.16?
I'm glad I listed them, I think you are right that it has to do with the library. Seems like they changed the way bold fonts are handled in this commit: https://github.com/GNOME/vte/commit/59e11fd751806876dc1a28c9c6d9a17d75db57d2. They also talk about it here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/323.
