Oh that’s very interesting to hear about tmux increasing latency. I’ve not heard this before but now you mention it, it seems obvious. Could you elaborate?

Terminals emulators aren't aware of tmux panes, so it'd likely needs to redraw the whole thing if even a single pane changes.

Tmux scans every character at least once.
