Well written article and interesting results, thank you.
I'm surprised that there has been input latency of tens of milliseconds with the said setup. How much are typical input latencies in comparable Windows laptops and Macs?
I don't have any results for Windows or macOS yet unfortunately. I wanted to run these tests on Windows eventually, and include things like cmd.exe and the Windows Terminal. Maybe when I get around to re-benchmarking a wider range of terminals. Mac would certainly be interesting to include, but I don't have access to any of those.
I would encourage you to do these sort of tests yourself, the hardware involved is pretty inexpensive (I'd expect you should be able to get something for <$50)
