Launch of terminal vith Super + Return feels delayed

Open hegjon opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

There is a slight delay when launching a terminal via Super + Return.

I do not have a measurement, but it feels wrong, it should feel instant.

When running Fedora 42 on a Intel Core Ultra 7 165U on i3vm:

❯ time alacritty -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.130s
user	0m0.048s
sys	0m0.036s

jonny in ~
❯ time alacritty -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.127s
user	0m0.049s
sys	0m0.037s

jonny in ~
❯ time alacritty -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.117s
user	0m0.044s
sys	0m0.039s

On my old Thinkpad running Omarchy on a Intel Core i7-6600U cpu.

~ ❯ time alacritty --working-directory=$(omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd) -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.393s
user	0m0.249s
sys	0m0.142s

~ ❯ time alacritty --working-directory=$(omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd) -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.341s
user	0m0.223s
sys	0m0.132s

~ ❯ time alacritty --working-directory=$(omarchy-cmd-terminal-cwd) -e /usr/bin/true

real	0m0.384s
user	0m0.247s
sys	0m0.151s

Not sure how much the difference is because of the hardware.

Neither of these measurement does not include the time to load bash + starship

I think this might be related to older hardware. For me, Omarchy’s terminal startup times are slightly faster—than on Mint and Manjaro.

I had this same issue only on my laptop Asus Zephyrus G16 The fix was adding " exec-once = walker --gapplication-service " to my autostart.conf

I think the results are expected given the performance of the two chips:

I wanted to confirm that was due to older hardware. The startup speed on Omarchy is slightly faster than Fedora on my new laptop.
