> I ran the test on Arch Linux with Xorg

Missed that part, sorry. I thought one of those terminal emulators were Wayland only, hence my question.

If the 16ms latency at 60hz bothers you.

Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency.

Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms

If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

It doesn’t bother me, I was just interested in whether the benchmark is fair in this respect (it is xorg only, so the answer is yes). I personally believe that 120+ hz gives barely any benefit, though.
