Terminal and shell performance
If you&#x27;re sensitive to latency and run Linux, try hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1, and do a little work in console mode at the terminal.  (Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back.)<p>For me this is a great illustration of how much latency there is in the GUI.  Not sure if everyone can feel it, but to me console mode is much more immediate and less &quot;stuffy&quot;.
