*grin* I always wanted to say that.
I run gnome-terminal under an xfce4 session, and then resize it up to,
say, 80x65.
Then I run "screen -r"
... and NINETEEN SECONDS later, it finishes drawing.
Further investigation seems to indicate that the problem is largely that
it's spawning processes. In fact, it acts like it's spawning a process
for every character, or something.
Specifically, it's spawning these:
elladan 26866 0.0 0.3 10100 3192 ? R 01:51 0:00 /usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:Accessibility_Registry:1.0 --oaf-ior-fd=27
Oddly enough, mozilla firefox is acting similarly when you type into a
text field.
Please, I beg you, tell me what in the name of all things beautiful and
pretty in the world are these apps doing?! Even if this is some bug in
some sort of corba service really... What possible reason do these
things have to talk to a corba service when displaying text?!

Hello,
As this bug was mainly caused by a special configuration, I close this
report.
There are also some open bugs on gnome-terminal that track the fact that
it is quite slow anyway without accessibility turned off.
Thanks for reporting this bug,
