Ghostty 1.4 compresses idle scrollback and parses plain ASCII at 725 MB/s (ghostty.org)
Ghostty 1.4 raises macOS I/O throughput 25 to 55 percent, lifts ASCII parsing from 128 MB/s to 725 MB/s, and compresses idle scrollback while raising the default limit from 10 MB to 50 MB. It also plays animated Kitty-protocol images and ships a drop-in `ghostty +ssh` wrapper.
