Interested to see how this compares in performance and resource usage with Alacritty[1]

Have you tried Kitty? https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty, Pretty good too in terms of performance


Rust Evangelism Strike Force to the rescue.


I laughed real hard at this phrasing: > Alacritty is the fastest terminal emulator in existence.

Bold.


Depends what you mean by "fast". It seems to have the highest stdout throughput, but that is not necessarily the most important metric: https://danluu.com/term-latency/


Especially true when the methodology to test performance was just `find /usr` [1], and comparing it with a just a few alternatives. I'm sure they have a better and more thorough benchmark these days, but that was pretty funny.

Alacritty's primary focus appears to be performance (GPU accelerated, no scrollback, no tabs, no native split panes).

Hyper 2's primary focus appears to be features and extensibility.

I doubt they will be in the same ballpark.


tl;dr: Hyper 1 did pretty bad. I don't expect much from Hyper 2
