I made a benchmark of the terminal emulators. Here are the results

What each one wins foot takes almost everything. It starts ~10x faster than ghostty, uses 4–9x less memory, and pushes 2x the bytes on color-heavy output. It's CPU-rendered (SIMD, no GPU), which is why it loses the one metric it loses — sustained light scrolling costs it 2x alacritty's CPU, since alacritty offloads that to the GPU. Note it ran the...
