In FC2 things have changed for the worse for gnome-terminal performance, where
it has become far worse than both konsole and xterm. A GNOME developer
explained to me that was the trade-off necessary in making gnome-terminal able
to display unicode characters with pango. I do admit it is nice to have that
ability, and it is awesome to see CJK characters working in gnome-terminal,
but at the same time I wish it were faster.
Very often I am forced to minimize my gnome-terminal sessions in order to
prevent 100% CPU usage while using remote ssh sessions or building something
locally. The bottleneck is always my terminal CPU usage. =(

As I said on the earlier thread, VTE is *EXACTLY THE SAME VERSION* in
FC1 and FC2.
