Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

I see a higher CPU usage on Fedora 40 and it becomes laggy when there's a lot of terminal output.

To Reproduce

• Fedora 40
• AwesomeWM
• execute journalctl and hold down key
• Output stuttering

Configuration

local wezterm = require "wezterm";

-- In newer versions of wezterm, use the config_builder which will

return config

Expected Behavior

Wezterm should consume less CPU and be much smoother

Hi @ad-on-is, could you please format your config as a codeblock, also the log output, this would help readability.

[ad-on-is]

Done... I'd suggest to update the template, if that's possible, since I copy&pasted the code into the corresponding fields.

[ad-on-is]

Additional info... I just found this happens, when I have one window running btop, and another window running neovim.

Steps to reproduce

• Open one window and run btop (with graph symbol braille)
• Open another window and open a larger file in neovim
• Scroll through the file in neovim
• Result: laggy
