gnome-terminal benchmark

[Will Cohen]

In an effort to create a set of benchmarks for gauging desktop 
performance I have written up a procedure for gnome-terminal to test the 
speed that text is sent to the terminal window and written a script to 
perform the test. I have attached the writeup for the procedure 
(bench_terminal.txt) and the script to run the test (cattest) to this email.

I am interested in hearing people's comments on this test. I know this 
is only one test and doesn't address desktop issues like program startup 
time, but we have to start somewhere.

We can start to assemble the benchmarks and put them in
