One of the many reasons you should make the switch to the new Windows Terminal! Windows Terminal uses GPU accelerated text rendering compared to the original console window which uses the CPU, thus giving the Terminal superior performance โ˜บ

Fun fact: Minimizing an in-progress, legacy Windows command prompt window will often make the program run faster. When a program sends visual update it tries to draw each one. If you minimize the window it doesnโ€™t bother repainting the window. This can make stuff run 50x faster.
