I tried it on Linux and input latency is very low. I can feel how characters appear the instant I press a key. It's faster than kitty for me.
When I run Helix under ghostty, it's noticeably faster at drawing menus and filtering dialog boxes.
I will use it for a while. Fun with new terminals.
I was using alacritty. Ghostty feels snappy like you said. I dont know if it's "noticeably" faster in any meaningful way. but the out of the box config settings make the font rendering look much nicer than I had set up for alacritty.
I told myself "I'll use this for a while" as well but then realized... I don't actually have a reason to change to anything else. It gets the job done. So until some other new shiny thing comes along, this is probably where I stay for a while.
