Anyone else notice that typing directly on the tty is much faster than in a terminal emulator in X11?

Yes, without exception. It's less noticeable on today's powerful systems, but it's still true. Text mode is just faster than graphics mode, at least on any system where I've used both.

Sounds like the terminal emulator you're using is no good. Is it the default for your distro?
