- Apps like xterm can trigger a lot of fallback rendering. - This can lead to (annoyingly) high latencies, because you have to wait for the block handler. - You need a driver that doesn't directly access the front buffer to trigger this (NV50+ nouveau for example). - Repeatingly doing dmesg on an xterm with a bitmap font will reveal that you never see part of the text. - I have recieved at least one complaint in the past of slow terminal performance, which was related to core font rendering. - This does sacrifice some throughput, roughly 33% slower.
