I am using the Java Desktop System and the default terminal is the Gnome
terminal. I like this because of the multiple tabs in one window and
other features. But, it is an incredibly slow window. E.g. if I do an
'ls -lAR' while I'm in the /etc directory on my local workstation, it
takes the gnome terminal a whopping 78 seconds to list around 6300
files/directories. But, if I start a dtterm window and run the same
command, it takes less than 1 (one) second.
Another annoying problem is this. If I am logged onto another server
and I list a directory that has a lot of files (or even do the same
command above) I cannot immediate break out of the listing. I.e. the
list is scrolling by and I hit Ctrl-C, my cursor is not returned to me
immediately. It looks as though there is a lot of buffering going on
and my keystroke (Ctrl-C) does not take affect until the buffer runs
out. Again, if I run this in a dtterm window my Ctrl-C is immediate.
Are there some settings or tweaks to do to the gnome terminal to make it
behave like the dtterm window?
TIA
