Konsole tops terminal group test

Konsole has come top in a group test of terminal emulators in Linux Format with 9 marks out of 10 (version 3.5.2 tested). Features noted included its versatility, its filesystem bookmarks, and its integration with the rest of KDE. The review noted that it was not one of the fastest, something which could be remedied by turning off anti-aliasing. GNOME Terminal got 8 out of 10, and xterm only three, it being noted that it was the slowest at scrolling text "by quite a margin". Others tested were Rxvt, Wterm, Eterm, Aterm and Mlterm.
