Both RDBMS have good performance. Lots of the issues we ran into really are related to scale. If you know that your data set will never be particularly large, most of these issues …

I didn't know that Terminology has GPU acceleration. I would be happy to include this in the future!

Thanks for this additional feedback. It sounds like we should create an XCode project from scratch to get many of the defaults and figure out how to bridge this with our current im…

"miss the point" feels a bit strong. Rather, I get the impression Alacritty's values don't match your own values in a terminal emulator, and that's totally OK. Historically, input …

Thanks for this clarification. I don't see any reason we couldn't support this given that info. We haven't intentionally opted out of this that I know of, we just didn't start Alac…

The hardest part about supporting things like this on macOS is that they often require a lot of additional code or a certain design whereas on Linux, a lot of these features are pr…

We tried to strike a balance between "commonly accepted as fast" terminal emulators and coverage of "commonly used" terminal emulators. Termite gets us libvte-based terminals (like…

Thanks for this feedback! We haven't heard a ton of complaints about the input latency, and comments like this help us to prioritize issues. This has been mentioned in two discussi…

Author here; I'm happy to answer any questions!

> Skia is definitely capable of good performance, as it resolves down to OpenGL draw calls, pretty much the same as Alacritty, WebRender, and now xi-mac. This claim is a bit surpri…

The article you linked is specifically about latency. There are other factors that contribute to overall terminal experience such as high frame rate and high throughput. Once laten…

Word of caution when reviewing this report: it doesn't take into account vblank period. If you hit a key just after a monitor refresh, you're not going to see it until the next ref…

Author here; happy to answer questions.

We can do better in Alacritty. For those interested, I've filed a bug on our issue tracker about where this latency is coming from and what can be done: https://github.com/jwilm/al…

FWIW, We're working on adding native support for scrolling. Someone has actually made an attempt at it recently: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/pull/657 Initial testing has sho…

Thanks for the answers! > Pathfinder's API is based around the concept of an atlas in order to improve batching. And the result of a raster job is then coordinates in the Atlas? > …

The blog post mentions integrating with WebRender as an alternative rasterizer on capable systems. Could performance of the GPU-based rasterizer ever get to the point that WebRende…

There's a known bug when using Mesa that kills performance. Hopefully we'll get it resolved soon!

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it! > concerning the the Alacritty devs since Alacritty requires a multiplexer to be usable The project initially started to be an optimized tmux …

> do you have any plans to use Alacritty to try and advance the state of terminal emulators more generally? I hadn't replied to this because others had already provided all of the …

I've heard that a few times now. For what it's worth, that's in the works!
