gnome terminal

["F. Heitkamp" <heitkamp ameritech net>]

I had been using Gnome 2.6 and just a day ago I got Gnome 2.8 installed 
and running.  I compiled and installed both from sources.  One thing that 
bothers me is that when I have a gnome terminal open and am compiling a 
large program or doing a backup, all the other gnome terminals slow to a 
crawl.  This is especially annoying when reading news or email. When the 
compile or backup is going, those terminals are continuously scrolling the 
output of gcc or tar v.  Does anyone know a solution?  I've noticed if I 
do the tar or compile in an X term gnome terminal runs OK (which happens 
to be one solution, but I wondered if there is one with regards to gnome 
terminal.)
