I love the new Windows Terminal (wt.exe) but this is one area where they really messed up. The latency between a keypress and a character appearing on screen makes the whole thing feel like a cheap experience. I have no idea what's causing the latency.
I suspect there some very big fancy rendering pipeline occurring, because when I open Windows Terminal I get the nVidia overlay popup which normally only comes up when I launch games, indicating the terminal is using a GPU-based rendering engine. Which I'm sure confers some interesting benefits, but it's a heavy price to pay when, at the end of the day, it's just a terminal.
