Sorry for the very long post.
I won't do it again. It's absurdly long.

Xfce 4.4: The best lightweight desktop environment (Linux.com) Posted Feb 24, 2007 20:06 UTC (Sat) by mikov (subscriber, #33179) [Link] I did a few tests on my machine. gnome-terminal came out 2 times faster than xterm with the "python" test. konsole came out 30 times faster than xterm ! I am as surprised as you are.
As for starting time, xterm literally trumps them. From this test (time seq 1 18 |while read i;do xterm -e ls ;done) I have:
xterm - 2.723s
In all cases I had another instance already open.
Xfce 4.4: The best lightweight desktop environment (Linux.com) Posted Mar 1, 2007 11:19 UTC (Thu) by azverkan (guest, #41051) [Link] Give multi-gnome-terminal a try.
It's nearly as fast as xterm, but with support for tabs.
