In all terminals I can think of, tput reset is much faster than reset, why? (sh, bash, xfce4-terminal, lxde-terminal, gnome-terminal, and probably others)
I know the technical reason, reset issues a nanosleep() sleep syscall, while tput reset does not, but what is the logical reason? why was/is it implemented this way?
For the record, tput reset is over 1000 times faster than reset in my xfce4-terminal:
time reset: real 0m1.002stime tput reset: real 0m0.001s
Edit: also, any reason to NOT add alias reset='tput reset' to ~/.bashrc ?
