Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.6.1-6
Severity: important


gnome-terminals ouytput is intermittently about 100x slower than normal. There is no other load on the system. Here is a demonstration:

In each of these cases the screen was full of output, so the effect of blank space
above the output is not the issue.

xterm does not have the same bug.
