Bug#408759: gnome-terminal: terminal is slow

[Paul Szabo]

Dear Sven,

> Are you still having performance issues with gnome-terminal?

Yes. Nothing has changed since I first reported. Now re-ran my test:
still 50 seconds on my Celeron2GHz (running sarge) for
  perl -e '$|=1; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n" }'
whereas a mere 4 seconds for
  perl -e '$|=0; foreach $x (1..500) { print "x" foreach(1..$x); print " $x\n" }'

(Hmm... I now see that sarge 3.1r5 was released 18 Feb 07, and I still
run the previous one. Will now update, re-test, and maybe report back.)

Cheers,
