Interestingly it doesn't work faster for Vim+Tmux on MacOS. I always thought it's issue of iTerm2 and Terminal.app but as README states it's probably something related to Vim or Tmux.

Glad Windows is supported now.

EDITED: Just tried to run it on Windows and didn't get it working. I expect I should not have Rust installed, right? Error says something about winpty-agent - "agent executable does not exist"

I recommend looking into Kitty. It is also GPU accelerated, and comes with its own programmable windowing + tiling system. With some configuring I was able to ditch tmux.

I actually use Kitty with tmux/vim. I noticed a massive improvement in rendering speed over iTerm. This was after messing with iTerm's own accelerated rendering which wasn't as much of an improvement as I had hoped.

You need to also download "winpty-agent.exe" from the releases page.
