Here is a guy at Sun that is improving GNOME, his comments are interesting:

"Gnome Terminal: interesting that the 30?70% improvement estimate yesterday by optimising some of the vte redraw code"

--yes, the stock xterm is visibly faster than Gnome Terminal when scrolling text

"Gtk: icon cache seems to be a little deranged, checking for the default High Color theme cache over a 100 times"

etc. etc.  

maybe GNOME will get faster...
