Alacritty renders slower than Konsole and Kitty #5029
Comments
Your video doesn't exist, but chances are you just have no idea what you're doing. Alacritty's performance is regularly benchmarked, so I'd notice when Kitty or Konsole would suddenly be faster. |
Please don't close issue like this on a long time user without investigating. |
The reason I closed this issue is because it's a waste of my time. How exactly is that a performance benchmark when you're not measuring any performance characteristics? If you don't understand what you're doing, just running random scripts, I'd advocate not creating issues that require my interaction to close. If you are interested in benchmarking Alacritty, please use the benchmarks provided by our project following our instructions and read up on what you're doing before just posting random results you do not understand. |
I didn't say it's performance benchmark, I just wanted to highlight it renders (or seems to be rendering) slower than the other two.
Sorry I don't use IRC, so creating the issue was the only way for me to clarify if something's wrong.
I do not use Alacritty to run benchmark tests from Alacrittty repo. I use it to run commands and scripts (sometimes happen to be random). |
Rather than arguing about etiquette, could we discuss what's going on in the posted video of the "script"? Something is clearly different, perhaps sharing the script would help look into it? We do have benchmarks, but they cannot claim to cover every use case, so I see this as a possibly useful endeavor. If nobody has time or knowledge to figure it out, so be it. |
Likely just a synchronization issue. Nothing unusual. |
@chrisduerr Were you in a bad mood when this issue was opened or is this how you approach every GH issue opened by your users? Just asking before opening an issue. Want to prepare myself for the barrage of rude comments of how I wouldn't know what I'd be doing by using your tool.

Hi, I use Alacritty as my primary terminal. I like its simplicity and easy-to-configure nature. I had the assumption that it's also fast. So I did a comparison between Alacritty, Kitty and Konsole. Found Alacritty to be the slowest.
