Depends on your usage but terminal.app is quite a bit slower then iterm2's metal renderer or Alacritty (probably kitty as well but I haven't used it).

"Slower" is not a metric. Latency is, though, and Terminal.app is a top contender (and rips iterm2 to shreds, even in throughput, not that throughput matters in practice).

Please stop spreading cargo cult information dating from 10.4 days. Terminal.app has been great ever since 10.6.

I don't think I've seen issues in practice, but I thought last time I saw benchmarks Terminal.app blew away the others. I believe it used some non-standard method to render to screen.
