Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: important


When ssh'ing (inside screen) into a another host and doing a log of
stuff there which displays much stuff (like building gcc) gnome-terminal
uses much CPU to display the output. around 98% for time as the output
is done. With other terminals like xterm this CPU usage is nearly not
recognizable when doing the same tasks.
