Comment 1 Olav Vitters 2005-03-06 11:27:13 UTC 
Does Terminal support/use URL highlighting? Gnome-terminal uses a few some
regexps to highlight URLs and email addresses. This slows things down.
Comment 2 kaliber 2005-03-06 14:19:14 UTC 
Terminal doesn't use highlighting but I disabled hishlighting in gnome-terminal
(removed body of function terminal_widget_match_add) and I have now on vte
0.11.12 results:

gnome-terminal:
real    0m10.628s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.156s

Terminal:
real    0m3.676s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.156s

The problem exists only in my linux installation (on my account in the system).
Please close the bug with INVALID resolution.
