gnome-terminal is slow

[Grzegorz Dyk]

When scrolling or appending new portions of text gnome-terminal runs slow and consumes a lot of CPU. I've tried turning off the transparency in the background or using laptop without external monitor but nothing helps. However, I got an impression that using smaller terminal window does help a little.

I also get an impression that the same issue concerns gedit text window (scrolling is not smooth, like CPU was overloaded).
