I'm trying to use a bitmap font with URxvt terminal and I find the performance is terrible after. If i use an XFT font it works perfect. When I set a bitmap font I can see the screen redraw while scrolling through vim and if another terminal is outputting lots of data the other terminals will slow to a crawl. Also when the terminal gains focus I will see a flicker occur as it redraws the text.
I tried using XTerm and it does not experience this problem at all. It only seems to be with URXvt that this problem occurs. I've tried several different bitmap fonts and it's the same for all of them. Again XFT works fine.
Any ideas?
