Ghostty Devlog 006

Read Original

This Ghostty devlog focuses on speed improvements, specifically IO throughput. It explains how the team used SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions to optimize the processing of plain text and control characters, moving from naive byte-by-byte loops to processing 16-32 byte chunks for significant performance gains in terminal output.
