Nothing changed about PR:

No other active process, no swapping activity, just select some lines of
text by mouse. Selectin takes about 3 seconds to be displayed in
terminal window. Gnome-Terminal is completely unusable in my case.
terminal font is "fixed" (so no any TTF rendering). Terminal have only
one tab.
I am run 5-CURRENT (fresh cvsup).

Frankly speaking I do not think that GLX can help me, I have neomagic
video chip in my notebook and it have no any GLX.
My notebook configuration:
CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (331.58-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin =3D "GenuineIntel" Id =3D 0x66a Stepping =3D 10

OV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR>
real memory =3D 201261056 (191 MB)
avail memory =3D 185790464 (177 MB)
It is sufficient to run on normal speed (usually in parallel):
- gnome environment (including nautilus)
- evolution
- licq (with qt/kde gui)
- xemacs
- mplayer or xmms
- one or two of mozilla/galeon2/firebird/opera(linux) with jvm
- openoffice or gnumeric
- a lot of xterms
- do regular make world && portupgrade -a -x openoffice
There is only two places where speed is too low:
- gnome-terminal (completely unusable)
- evolution composer (I have reported this before)
while change focus between To:/Cc:/Subject lines
(all other functions, including spell-check work fast enough)
PS: Just check gnome-terminal on much faster machine,
same problem, I have run in terminal window 'ls -lR /sys/'
Then try select some lines, it pauses for 1-2 secs (I am sure it is too
much for this machine)

GLX disabled too.
After enabling GLX ( I have TNT2 here ). I can't notice any delay by
select text, but CPU usage still too high (for my taste):

PPS:
Do anybody use gnome-terminal without GLX ?
May be I need to disable GLX while build some port.
