"miss the point" feels a bit strong. Rather, I get the impression Alacritty's values don't match your own values in a terminal emulator, and that's totally OK. Historically, input latency hasn't been considered a big pain point by most users.
That said, we do have a plan[1] to address this issue and be both high throughput _and_ low-latency.
