If anyone else is curious about measuring things like this, try the https://isitsnappy.com/ app on a modern phone.

It’s real nice to have some competition for macOS on this front — and especially when it moves out of terminals into related tools like editors (VSCode was close to Terminal.app the last time I measured while e.g. Atom was fully an order of magnitude worse). This is a frictional productivity cost which most people discount because it’s not as obvious.
