Yeah, as I keep saying in these threads, the performance needed to do "fast enough" terminals was reached no later than the 1980s, and while bits per pixel and resolution has increased since then, it has increased slower than CPU speed. It's not the CPU cost of getting pixels on the screen that bottleneck most terminals.
