Package: putty
Version: 0.64-1
Severity: normal

Truetype font rendering is very CPU intensive. This was equally the
case with 0.63, so is not a regression in the latest version, but I
only today got around to testing properly. When my window is maximized
on a 1280x1024 display with FontName=Courier 10 Pitch 13, it takes
20% to 25% of my CPU per refresh. This causes noticable delays when,
e.g., performing meta-N in screen to switch to the next screen. When
I fall back to the default, non-Truetype font, putty takes negligible
amounts of CPU for a maximized window screen refresh.

My CPU and GPU are rather underpowered (Atom N450 / Pineview) but I
have no problem with urxvt and Truetype font rendering, so it does
seem to be a putty-specific issue.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need to see from my
system to sort out what's going wrong.

Thanks,
Ben
