I'm having trouble putting this into words without sounding smarmy, so please, that's not my intention.

How are you attributing speed to Kitty over iTerm? Wouldn't most of the sluggishness of anything be more attributed to the programs you're running in the terminal?

Try it. You'll be surprised. An amazing amount of lag comes from the routines needed to display the text some utility prints, not the utility itself.
