gnome term uses anti-aliased font's so it's performance is going to be slower than that of xterm under similar circumstances... if you have a real fast machine and your graphics cards acceleration is mostly supported it will be smother than if it isn't. my 1ghz crusoe laptop with a rage mobility chipset scrolls a lot less smoothly than my athlon 64 3000+ with a geforce 4-4200
Now there's a subjective statement if ever I saw one. B^)
I originally had a Riva-128 AGP graphics card on a K6-2/3D 500Mhz system and I don't remember this problem on RH9. [warning: I could be wrong! I don't remember anymore!]
Now I'm running the GeForce-2 MX400 AGP on an Athlon 2600+ system.
The graphics card is better, the CPU is better, and I'm on FC2, but the problem exists. B^{
