macOS Setup after 15 Years of Linux

Still slower than xterm. And I have yet to see a feature I need that's not in (famously bloated) xterm, and which Alacritty or Kitty provide.

By what measure is it slower?

I don't really notice any difference in doing day-to-day stuff, but I tried out tree across my entire ~/projects dir and got the following results:

XTERM:

28032 directories, 196844 files tree projects 0.65s user 1.19s system 56% cpu 3.229 total

KITTY:

28032 directories, 196844 files tree projects 0.62s user 0.75s system 55% cpu 2.475 total

Latency and startup time are largest contributors to my feeling. I don’t have a measurement, and both are difficult to measure.
