| First off: thanks for sharing! Warp is building some real innovation in a Terminal, and it’s been a blast to follow the project. It’s interesting that you mention this now - I’ve been a Warp user for a few months but just yesterday started seeking out another option because the UI has been feeling sluggish in Warp. I installed alacritty and kitty, and they both feel insanely fast, comparatively. iTerm is approximately the same as Warp. I think the difference is significantly smaller than most people would intentionally target with UI paints. But when I press enter, it feels like warp just has a minuscule delay, where kitty has instantaneous printed the results within the same frame that my finger hit enter. Do you know if there’s a specific # of ms that Warp is targeting for a UI response from user input? I’m not at all an expert in this domain, but am curious if it’s “all in my head”, or if there really is a difference here. Do you have similar stats for other terminals? Edit: Only asking because I know it’s hard to get the right balance between extra feature & speed. The autocomplete & syntax highlighting are really awesome features that I love about Warp, and those likely take many more CPU cycles. Warp is far more powerful than kitty in that way. But how many ms does it cost to have those features? I know the answer isn’t the same for everyone about what the right trade-offs are between features and speed, and I haven’t made up my mind yet which is more important for me, to be honest. Warp is crazy impressive and has been a step up in functionality. Again, really love the work you’re doing! |
