Milestone
Description
Windows Terminal version
1.13.10983.0
Windows build number
10.0.19044.1645
Other Software
None
Steps to reproduce
- Use Terminal inside a typical VM
- Switch to the experimental Atlas engine
- Observe CPU load
- Try to type and experience sluggishness and even higher CPU load etc. There's a decent amount of lag and output from long commands tends to stutter into view; it's not very smooth
Expected Behavior
Was expecting that Atlas, in default/easy cases, would perform better than the old engine.
Looking ahead: IF atlas becomes the default and IF Terminal replaces all old cmd windows, then using this inside VMs is going to be a non-starter.
Actual Behavior
Extreme CPU usage and general sluggishness. Witness the firepower of this fully operational battle... I mean barely affordable Azure VM displaying nothing but the flashing cursor inside a blank Terminal window:
