Performance

A smaller, steadier terminal.

Warpeer ships in a 32.10 MiB DMG, 89.87% smaller than the official Warp DMG captured alongside it. GPU memory scales with the terminal area on screen, not the number of tabs or panes inside it.

GPU memory

More panes, same screen budget.

A pure-terminal Warpeer session uses approximately 160 MB at two-thirds of a 2K screen. Keep the total visible area fixed and the expected memory stays the same as you add tabs or split the screen into more panes.

~160 MB2K at two-thirds screen areaObserved in a pure-terminal session

Memory follows the screen area.

At a fixed total screen area, opening more terminal panes or tabs does not increase expected memory.

~0%4-hour drift

Steady through long sessions.

With the visible terminal area unchanged, memory change is nearly zero across four hours. Over much longer sessions, expect an approximate +/-2% range.

Observed manually with the visible terminal area unchanged.

Display	Visible area	Memory	Basis
1080p 1920x1080	Full display	135 MB	Estimated
2K 2560x1440	Half display	120 MB	Estimated
2K 2560x1440	Two-thirds display	~160 MB	Observed
2K 2560x1440	Full display	240 MB	Estimated
4K 3840x2160	Half display	270 MB	Estimated
4K 3840x2160	Two-thirds display	360 MB	Estimated

Estimates scale from the 160 MB observation by visible pixel area.

Non-terminal media and unrelated background workloads are not included.
