I can't remember the last time I thought that my terminal was too slow, except maybe when I tried that Electron-based program a while back (Hyper, I think it was). My priorities are more like the following:
1. Stability. I crashed Alacritty thirty seconds after opening it; possibly related to issue #12.
2. Emulation correctness. In Terminal.app, the cursor often gets out of sync when I "turn the corner" (i.e., backspace across a line boundary).
3. Font rendering. Text in some terminals just looks ugly.
4. Features. Alacritty doesn't seem to show the number of rows and columns when I resize. Scrollback!
This looks like a really interesting project, but it seems really strange to make performance such a high priority. I tried the find /usr test, and it seemed equally fast in Terminal.app and Alacritty.
