Well, here are some comparisons done with my test-prog (attached) |
| 16 |
(higher is better): |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
eterm: ~ 14 000 l/s |
| 19 |
xterm: ~ 8 500 l/s |
| 20 |
gnome-terminal: ~ 3 500 l/s |
| 21 |
frame-buffer: ~ 40 l/s |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Btw: I should have written __80__ instead of __50__. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
PS: Please note that the attached program is an ad hoc implementation to |
| 26 |
do some basic comparisons, and not a sophisticated program. Compile it |
| 27 |
with 'g++ -Wall -O3 <filename.cc> -o <executable>'. |
