Output performance slow compared to gnome-terminal

See original GitHub issue

I have been playing around with terminus and noticed that cat <file> is relatively slow for large files.

With terminus:

$ cat /var/log/vbox-install.log |wc -l
6516

$ time cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
...
real    0m12.963s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.052s

With gnome-terminal

$ time cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
...
real	0m0.681s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.032s

Yes, sure. Both serve the same purpose and whereas I did expect terminus to be slower, I did not expect a slowdown by a factor of ~18.
