  • Windows Terminal 1.19 reduces latency by half, making it competitive with WSLtty.
  • Terminal options on Windows have improved, including PTY support and ANSI terminal sequence support.
  • Key considerations for terminals include 24-bit color, input latency, throughput, and tab support.
  • Tested terminals include conhost.exe, MinTTY, Alacritty, WezTerm, and Windows Terminal.
  • MinTTY excels in throughput and ANSI attribute support but has high idle CPU usage.
  • conhost.exe has the best latency and idle performance but lacks modern features like emoji support.
  • Windows Terminal uses significantly more CPU and RAM compared to conhost.exe.
  • MinTTY remains a strong choice for terminals on Windows, especially for WSL users.
