WezTerm version

20240730-082727-56a27e93

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

The startup speed of WezTerm is inconsistent and appears to be random. It can be either very slow or okay, regardless of whether an existing instance is already running.

To Reproduce

No response

Configuration

-- Pull in the wezterm API local wezterm = require("wezterm")

-- This will hold the configuration. local config = wezterm.config_builder()

-- config config.max_fps = 165

-- font config.font = wezterm.font("JetBrains Mono") config.font_size = 16 config.line_height = 1.1

-- and finally, return the configuration to wezterm return config

Also happens without config

Expected Behavior

No response

I don't have problems with other terminals (kitty, alacritty). I also have discrete nvidia gpu RTX 3050ti.

My picom.conf: backend = "glx"; glx-no-stencil = true; glx-copy-from-front = false; xrender-sync-fence = true; vsync=true

dbe = false;

I had a similar issue with a delay around that warning message, but I don't see it anymore if I build from the source (a debug or release build are both fine). Maybe it is related to the fix for #5802?

Same issue, switched to wezterm because kitty had font rendering issues, but wezterm is just too slow to start taking at least > 1.5s to spawn.

I decided to give it another shot. So I removed the wezterm package from extras repo and installed wezterm-git from the AUR as it was more up to date and it starts up just fine now! YAY!!

Can confirm: Release 20240203 slow, HEAD fast. Bisect shows that this was fixed by a0a415d1cb5f4d0e6317535b7a3db09b6a1b9731 (#5923).

[murrrda]

Yeah, seems like issue is fixed. I will close
