Great to see this quantified!  My pet peeve is laggy interfaces.  I&#x27;m not surprised to see Atom on there, because browsers do seem to have a big problem with this.  Ubuntu seems to have a big problem with this too, e.g. in the native &quot;gedit&quot;.<p>Back in the Ubuntu 4.0 days (2006 or so), the default terminal was really slow.  I didn&#x27;t really know how to use Linux then, so I would SSH into with Putty on Windows, and use the terminal&#x2F;Vim that way.  This was actually more responsive than a local terminal!<p>Does anyne else feel a sense of raw power when they switch to a native terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) ... ?
