On: Terminal and shell performance

[jwilm]

FWIW, We're working on adding native support for scrolling. Someone has actually made an attempt at it recently: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/pull/657

Initial testing has shown it not to (noticeably) impact perf in our highly unscientific benchmarks.

Ah great!

I'm a native Windows user these days, so I can't use it quite yet, and as such, have fallen behind the time on news.

That's awesome! No scrolling is what prevents me from using alacritty. Hope this gets merged!
