Re: Early Gnome-terminal profiling

Thanks Ross - unfortunately the version of xterm I'm running on nevada b22, doesn't support the -fa flag.

Will need to get it updated.

xfontsel will give you core X font names which are not rendered the same
way as VTE does (Xft), using xterm -fa "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 12"
will use Xft in xterm and thus make performance more comparable.
