Yes, it's a known issue with vte.

It's really up to you.  I'm planning to drop libzvt support in GNOME 2.4
(as GNOME is dropping it), but it won't matter if you're using it now. 
The upgrade will simply ignore the request for libzvt support.

vte is slower than libzvt, even on my P4 2.4 GHz with 2 GB of RAM.  The
fonts you choose as well as the terminal size and background parameters
can help things.  My terminals are 80x24, white on black, with Bitstream
Vera Mono 11 point Bold.  I use gnlus avec color and FreeBSD ls sans
color.

In order to speed up certain things, I build with (build options) >&
logfile so as not to echo characters to the terminal.
