It is slow on Linux too, there are plenty of Linux users that are complaining about it too. ;-) Althought, it was a lot better than what it was in GNOME 2.0 - 2.2. Anyway, perhaps one of you can try to edit x11-toolkits/vte/files/patch-src_vte.c from 15 to 5 or 2 to see if it helps a little. If not, then remove all the '@@ -101,7 +101,7 @@' entry and keep the '@@ -11318,7 +11318,6 @@' entry. This '@@ -101,7 +101,7 @@' entry was added in GNOME 2.6 to improvement on the speed, but it wasn't on me at the first place until I requested for change 50 to 15. If none of that help, then bug to the VTE/GNOME developers harder.
