As search engines are still showing this article as a top result, it is worth mentioning that updating installation instructions are available on the alacrity github project homepage. These instructions are no longer accurate.

For this particular case, we based on the technology it uses —- GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for rendering, which implements certain optimizations that are not available in many other terminal emulators in Linux.

How do you objectively measure the speed of a terminal emulator? I’ve never seen a slowness caused by the terminal emulator, so wouldn’t know what I’m missing.
