I saved the recent “Terminal and Shell Performance” article [1] in the Wiki for my shell [2], and I saw that I had saved this great article on a similar subject (editor lag vs. terminal lag).
In this article I examine human- and machine aspects of typing latency (“typing lag”) and present experimental data on latency of popular text / code editors. The article is inspired by my work on implementing “zero-latency typing” in IntelliJ IDEA.
