Dear Brice,

I now tried rxvt-unicode on Ubuntu: yes, it is blindingly fast.
(On Monday will try Debian also.)

I see. Would it be possible for you to reassign to the xterm and
gnome-terminal packages, instead of closing the bug?

Will Etch have Xorg, and if so will it be replacing XFree86 or as an
alternative? (It seems the bug is in xterm, in both Xorg and XFree86,
not in the X server of either. There was no bug, and nothing fixed, in
the Xorg server. Seems I should have reported the bug against the
terminals, not against the X server package.)
