When does this slowness show itself?

If you have four large files open in Vim tabs, it can be quite slow.

If you print out a large text file or script output with cat or less, it can be slow as well. This is on a 1.8ghz i5 machine running Linux.

I can already notice the speed of Alacritty. We'll see how it performs in the next few months for me.

Is this at all dependent on the terminal emulator?
