- 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.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
