 +===== Performance Issues ===== 
 + 
 +Xfce Terminal is based on the [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/VTE|VTE Terminal Widget Library]], just like 
 +gnome-terminal. Vte is probably not the fastest terminal emulation library on 
 +earth, but it's one of the best when it comes to Unicode support, and not to 
 +forget, it's actively developed. That said, performance is still an important 
 +issue for a terminal emulator and Vte with font-antialiasing enabled can be 
 +very slow even on decent systems. Xfce Terminal therefore offers a possibility 
 +to explicitly disable anti-aliasing for the terminal font. If you are 
 +experiencing problems with the terminal rendering speed, you might want to 
 +disable the anti-aliasing for the terminal font.
