Am i crazy? Am i the only one who thinks that the current incarnation of
gnome-terminal is slow and a resource hog?
No. I recently tried just about every terminal I could get my hands on,
and settled on using aterm like this:
aterm -bg black -fg white +sb -tr -sh 15 -sl 10000 -si -sk -fn 8x13 -ls
-geometry 80x36
Nice. But it seems focused on "cute" features such as transparent
background and such.

Are you sure it's the fastest, leanest one?
to the point where I would be happy with it forever. I haven't done any
real profiling for memory usage, but like I said, gnome-terminal was
atrocious on my system (750 MHz P3 256 Mb RAM (supposed to be 384 Mb)).
note that i don't like menubars or scrollbars or any of that crap, and
aterm lets you get rid of them easily (scrollbar is shift+pgup/pgdn or
shift+up/dn). usually i just work with 2 or three terminals full
screen, but occasionally unmaximize them. if i remember correctly, it's
like xterm except you can have a transparent background if you want, and
it's a bit lighter too.
just try it ... you can always get rid of it.
cheers,
