Performance is definitely worse than in iTerm or gnome-terminal, but it's improved a lot in recent Upterm versions, and we plan to improve it further. I'd say it's good enough, but you can try yourself.

Recently there was this terminal performance test https://danluu.com/term-latency/

The author says that the most important things are typing delay and how quickly you can Ctrl+C a command, not how much text it prints per second. Upterm is good at both.

Considering I dropped those because I consider them slow and bloated, good luck with this Electron monstrosity.

You can have my RXVT when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I dropped those because they're magnitudes slower than urxvt. You managed to make a terminal emulator that's even worse?

Hey, I bet nobody will force you to use it or help develop it.

Not every tool fits everyone’s needs. Some tools might only be useful to a few people.

No need to be rude about it.

I don’t mean to spark a controversy, but that’s what happens when you use Electron.

LOL. I dropped Atom back to Vim the same reason.. electron apps are just too slow and memory-hogging compared to native apps.
