Great to see this quantified! My pet peeve is laggy interfaces. I'm not surprised to see Atom on there, because browsers do seem to have a big problem with this. Ubuntu seems to have a big problem with this too, e.g. in the native "gedit".

Back in the Ubuntu 4.0 days (2006 or so), the default terminal was really slow. I didn't really know how to use Linux then, so I would SSH into with Putty on Windows, and use the terminal/Vim that way. This was actually more responsive than a local terminal!

Does anyne else feel a sense of raw power when they switch to a native terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) ... ?

Try out mosh. Local buffers really make a difference for that latency.

Well I was saying that using a shell or vim via Putty/SSH from Windows (and a fast corporate network connection) was actually MORE responsive than sitting at that computer, and using GNOME terminal or whatever it was!

I've heard of mosh though -- it sounds cool.
