Now, if you use less CPU, all else being equal, you burn less energy, because they underclock. This was also part of the issue with long GTA load times a few months ago. One of the things pointed out was a lot of strings were created.

Maybe he has (he certainly claims to), but it's impossible for me to know as an outside observer. How much more work, and why? Is it because it's perhaps not so simple a problem to solve?Ĭreating a separate demo terminal just raises questions for me as to whether he's really understood and met all the requirements/constraints that the Terminal is built under. I can only assume it's because he thinks that would take a lot more work than the weekend he spent building this demo. His assertions of how simple and easy it is to do X (which he also constantly repeats in the video) come across as a little condescending to me.īut my question is, if it really is so stupidly dead simple, why create a separate fake terminal? If drastically improving the performance of the Windows Terminal was as simple as he claims, why not just do it yourself? I would find that more persuasive. It's the OP himself who closes the issue after being gently called out for his tone, which I think was fair. That doesn't seem dismissive at all to me. In fact, DHowett says they'll use the issue for for tracking related performance improvements and thanks him for providing the termbench program.

Again, I'm not an expert, but the discussion here seems fairly reasonable and honest to me, and not peppered with excuse-making as this guy claims. Here's the issue in question where the debate takes place. He spends so much time ranting about 'excuses' the developers have made, and repeatedly exclaims that this is a simple fix that could be done over a weekend or whatever. However, I don't find the video entirely persuasive. And I will happily admit that I am not anything close to an expert on any of the topics this video/issue covers. God knows how many times I've suppressed the output of commands because of the significant performance cost. I definitely think the console/terminal performance in Windows needs significant improvement.
