Isn’t the terminal only going to affect performance when it’s displayed in stdout? I’d think a program like find / using pipes would send the data under the hood and all that the terminal would deal with would be the output of the entire command.
Perhaps that’s true. Although, I think that should be tested because I’m a little unsure since pipes are just the stdout of one command being used as the stdin of the following command. There’s still some output, even if you don’t see it.
In any case, find has many uses, many of which will print data to the screen, and find is far from the only use case in which this would be apparent. There are tons of situations in which you’re going to have to work with large amounts of stdout/stderr, and having a GPU-accelerated terminal will be much faster in all of those situations.
